Stats and facts

Leeds are winless in all seven of their Premier League meetings with Brighton (D3 L4), both the most they’ve faced a side without ever winning and the most the Seagulls have faced a side without ever losing in the competition.

Albion have lost just one of their last 14 league games against Leeds (W10 D3), keeping 10 clean sheets and conceding just six goals in that run.

As a top-flight side, Leeds have only lost their last home league game twice in their last 20 seasons (W10 D8), though one of these was a 4-1 loss against Spurs in their last Premier League campaign of 2022-23.

Albion won 4-1 at Spurs in their final away league match last season – not since 2012-13/2013-14 have they won their final match on the road in consecutive campaigns, with one of those victories back then coming at Leeds.

Leeds have won 3-0 against Wolves and 3-1 against Burnley in their last two Premier League home games. They last won more consecutively at Elland Road between April and August 2001 (5), while they last did so while scoring 3+ goals each time between September and November 2000.

Between December and February, only Burnley (1) won fewer Premier League games than Albion (2). Since the start of March, no side has won more games in the top-flight than the Albion (6, level with Arsenal).

Leeds are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games (W3 D4), last having a longer run between May and November 2001 (13). They also had a seven-game unbeaten run in December/January, with this the first campaign they’ve had two such runs since 1998-99.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored 13 Premier League goals this season, only netting more in 2020-21 (16). The last player to score more league goals in their first season with Leeds United was Luciano Becchio in 2008-09 (15).

Maxim de Cuyper has been involved in three goals in his last three Premier League games (3 assists), more than in his first 25 appearances in the competition (2 goals).

Jack Hinshelwood has scored in each of his last three Premier League games – no Albion player has ever scored in four in a row before.

Match officials

Michael Oliver will be the man in the middle for Sunday’s clash.
