Brighton and Leeds United squared off at the Amex Stadium on September 5, 2026, in a Premier League Matchweek 3 clash. Both entered the contest with Leeds occupying 8th and Brighton sitting one rung below in 9th after two rounds of play.
The fixture kicked off at 3:00pm UK time in Falmer, East Sussex, with both managers forced to navigate squad selections shaped by significant absences.
Injury lists cast a shadow over team selections
Brighton came into the match without several first-choice options. Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, and Jack Hinshelwood were all sidelined.
Leeds carried their own concerns. Defender Joe Rodon is expected to miss up to 10 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury.
