Leeds United will be looking to continue their excellent start to the season when they make the difficult trip to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Whites have picked up seven points from their opening three matches and currently sit third in the Premier League table.
But Jesse Marsch’s men will be coming up against a side who are currently level on points with them and so it is set up to be a tough afternoon on the south coast. Marsch has a number of selection headaches ahead of Saturday’s game, with several players pushing for starts despite the 3-0 win over Chelsea last weekend.
In front of Illan Meslier, Liam Cooper will be available for selection for the first time in the Premier League this season after coming through his 45 minutes against Barnsley unscathed. Whether he comes in, and who he replaces from Diego Llorente or Robin Koch are questions that still remain up in the air.

In midfield, it is difficult to see Marc Roca and Tyler Adams’ partnership being broken up anytime soon. Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson are also must-picks at the moment, but the position in which they line up could depend on who is selected in the remaining two positions.
If Patrick Bamford is once again absent, Rodrigo Moreno will most likely lead the line, with Aaronson playing as the number 10. Luis Sinisterra and Daniel James will be fighting for the final position, with the former having enjoyed an excellent full debut against Barnsley on Wednesday.
