Leeds prepare to entertain Brighton & Hove Albion at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Whites are clearly on top, winning 8 and drawing 5 of the 14 games played.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was less than a year ago, in March 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
