The players take to the turf now, as a bubbling atmosphere steadily reaches fever pitch. The head referee today is Stuart Attwell. After he meets with the captains, Lewis Dunk and Ethan Ampadu, it looks like the visitors will get us started this afternoon.

Brighton have won 12 of 20 all-time meetings with Leeds, losing just three. Even worse for the visitors today, the Seagulls have managed to score 12 goals in their last five matches. A win here could be a daunting prospect for the visitors, but one they'll relish. Leeds haven't won consecutive league games against Brighton since 2008-09 in League One. What a different time it is now for both of these clubs.

Daniel Farke has made three alterations to the squad that drew 1-1 with Brentford last week. Defender Nico Elvedi makes his full Premier League debut as he replaces the injured Joe Rodon, while Ao Tanaka and Gabriel Gudmundsson are handed starts ahead of Brenden Aaronson and Jaka Bijol.

Looking to protect their unbeaten start to the Premier League season, Leeds United head south to face Brighton. These two sides faced each other on the penultimate weekend of action last term, and the Whites will be hoping for a more routine repeat, as they stole away with a slender 1-0 win thanks to a 96th-minute Dominic Calvert-Lewin strike. So far this season, Brighton opened well with a 4-0 dispatch of Aston Villa before ending up on the wrong end of a 4-3 thriller against Chelsea. So far this term, Leeds have tallied consecutive away wins without reply against Nottingham Forest (1-0 in the PL and 2-0 in the EFL Cup), followed by a 1-1 draw with Brentford at Elland Road last weekend. Somewhat remarkably, their two victories on the road so far this term leave them just one win short of equalling their away win tally from the entirety of last season across all competitions.

Hello everyone, and welcome to live text coverage from the Premier League. Today, we should have an enthralling fixture for you, as Brighton take on Leeds!
0'
And we're off at the Amex!
1'
How about this for a stat? This is the first time Brighton have named a Premier League starting XI with 11 different nationalities.
2'
Calvert-Lewin and Vuskovic duel, with the latter on the floor with a bloodied mouth. Ouch. Not enough for a yellow card, though, it seems.
3'
EARLY CHANCE FOR LEEDS! Calvert-Lewin races away as Okafor slots him through, but he can't bend the ball around Verbruggen! A belated flag rises for offside, but he should be burying that!
5'
De Cuyper nearly sneaks round the back of Bogle from a superb Verbruggen long ball. The Leeds man pulls the winger back and we have a very early first yellow card of the day.
6'
Gross delivers the left-sided free-kick, but Trafford punches the lofty cross away comfortably. In the next phase, Kadioglu fouls Okafor as he tries to race away on the counter. The Turkish international is lucky not to receive a booking himself.
8'
Leeds look really bright here. Gudmundsson races in on the left and tries to drag a low ball back from the left byline. It's just about cleared behind for a corner. This comes in, but is headed clear.
10'
Brighton get some composed passes under their belts and move up the pitch gradually before Leeds regain their shape. The away fans are making an excellent din in that away end behind Trafford's goal.
12'
Justin sprays a ball down Leeds' right. Boscagli does well to play it out before Ampadu's long throw into the box is also dealt with. That said, the Seagulls flap at it in the next phase, and Leeds have a corner.
14'
Well, it looks like Tanaka was trying to score there, but he'll certainly take the assist for Bogle!
15'
GOOOAAAALLLLL! 1-0 LEEDS! The away end is in raptures, as the Whites end their long wait for a goal at the Amex! A Calvert-Lewin header is saved by Verbruggen, and Tanaka squares the rebound for Bogle to smash home from close range!
15'
With that goal, Bogle has his first since February, when he scored against Nottingham Forest.
17'
Yalcouye looks to reinstall some spark down the Brighton left, yet Justin is wide to the Malian's jinking run.
19'
Okafor does well to keep the ball in play down the left and nearly feeds Calvert-Lewin. However, Dunk gets across well.
21'
Stach crosses from the right, and Dunk has to send it behind. The German midfielder sends in the out-swinging corner, but Justin's flick-on is eventually headed out before Gross can see a secondary ball out for a Verbruggen goal kick.
23'
OFF THE LINE! While Brighton have yet to touch the ball in the Leeds box, the Whites are hot on the trail up the other end! Calvert-Lewin is sent in behind and rounds Verbruggen before seeing his shot sent away by a recovering Dunk!
23'
CLOSE AGAIN! Tanaka has a go from a right-sided corner, but his volleyed effort clips the top of the crossbar and goes behind! Brighton really need to react here!
24'
After just 25 minutes, Leeds' xG in this game (2.12) is already higher than their first two Premier League games combined (1.93). Talk about attacking intent.
26'
Yalcouye clips the ball around Justin's tackle from behind on the left, and the hosts have a free-kick. The well-worked set-piece sees Gross slam an effort on goal from range, but it's always rising from the man making his 250th Premier League appearance this afternoon.
27'
GOMEZ! Saved by Trafford at his right post! It's excellent technique from the Paraguayan as he latches onto a Boscagli cross-field ball and volleys on target! Trafford sees it away excellently!
29'
The hosts have really worked hard to turn the impetus around in this clash. They have had 67% possession over the last 15 minutes.
31'
Kostoulas is an unhappy man amidst his battle with Stach. Brighton can't et their frustrations get them down as they try to get back into this one, as Leeds can certainly feed off that energy.
34'
A telegraphed Trafford pass out from the back is robbed by De Cuyper on the left, and the Leeds keeper is fortunate not to be punished!
36'
Yellow Card Pascal Groß
38'
Following an unsuccessful Brighton corner, Leeds clear. Gross comes back to chase Bogle and send him tumbling with a pullback. Yellow card for the German midfielder.
38'
A deep right-sided corner from Brighton searches for Dunk. It looks to have hit Ampadu and gone behind, but the visitors get a goal kick.
40'
Leeds are really frustrating their hosts just before the break here. Tanaka wins a foul, and it helps take the sting out of anything Brighton can muster ahead of the interval.
43'
There'll be just the one minute of added time here.
45'
Brighton search for parity in the final stages of the first half here, and now there's a handball against Tanaka that gives them a free-kick in a decent area.
45'
HALF-TIME: BRIGHTON 0-1 LEEDS
45'
Brighton's right-sided free-kick comes to nothing as the eventually recycled ball is blasted into the bodies by Kadioglu.
45'
Half-time at the Amex then, and Leeds grasp a rare 1-0 away lead against Brighton. Their first goal in many a year down south, the Whites pushed ahead thanks to a close-range finish from Jayden Bogle. He finished well after Dominic Calvert-Lewin forced a save from Bart Verbruggen, and Ao Tanaka pulled the rebound back. After this, Leeds continued to look the more threatening, as Calvert-Lewin rounded Verbruggen and forced Lewis Dunk to divert his effort off the line. Tanaka also hit the bar before Brighton finally mustered some on-ball confidence later in the half. Diego Gomez came closest, latching onto a cross-pitch ball from Oscar Boscagli to test James Trafford at his right post.
0'
While Brighton have really been caught cold today, struggling to play above their 0.04 xG, Leeds' 2.12 xG is the most by an away team in the first half of a Premier League game against Brighton since Manchester City in October 2021 (2.66). The Seagulls have shown some signs of life at the other end, but Leeds are more than good value for their lead so far. At the time of writing, Daniel Farke's men have a 54.1% win probability according to the Opta Supercomputer. A draw comes in at a 26.4% chance, while a Brighton victory is the least likely at 19.4%.

49'
STACH! Great save from Verbruggen! The ball drops fortuitously for the German, and he strikes low, forcing Verbruggen to save with an outstretched right leg!
48'
De Cuyper is booked for a tactical foul, allowing Leeds a free-kick in a dangerous area.
49'
LEEDS THINK THEY HAVE A SECOND! It's disallowed, though! Tanaka volleys home excellently, but he's just gone a fraction early!
50'
Leeds look lively after their disallowed goal, and now Justin curls over a tempting cross from the right that just misses everyone in the middle.
53'
GROSS! Leeds are at sixes and sevens at the back and are nearly punished by Gross as he shapes a shot wide of the right post from the edge of the area!
55'
Brighton have a new lease of life here, as they continue to search for an equaliser!
57'
Brighton continue to pressure after Kostoulas has his shot blocked. Leeds look slightly rattled right now, but they're working hard to defend their box.
59'
Substitution Jayden Bogle Jaka Bijol
61'
Substitution Noah Okafor Brenden Aaronson
62'
Leeds go to the bench now, as goalscorer Bogle makes way for Jaka Bijol.
61'
After this, the second alteration sees Okafor exit stage left for Brenden Aaronson.
62'
JUSTIN! The defender stings the palms of Verbruggen as Calvert-Lewin spins the ball through on the right! Smart save!
63'
Yellow Card Dominic Calvert-Lewin
64'
Well, he's got away with a few of these today, but now Calvert-Lewin has been pulled up for a stray arm. Into the book he goes after clopping Ayari.
64'
The ball just won't drop kindly enough for the hosts, as Kadioglu strikes through the bodies, forcing an easy save from Trafford.
65'
KOSTOULAS! A bit of a quiet spell has taken shape here now. Kostoulas jinks through the challenges to try and change things, but his finish is straight at Trafford! What a shame!
68'
Goal Luka Vuskovic
71'
Brighton keep pushing! A slight Elvedi mistake with a clearance wins the hosts a corner!

Substitution Dominic Calvert-Lewin Lukas Nmecha
73'
Substitution Ao Tanaka Harry Wilson
73'
GOOOAAAALLLLL! 1-1! VUSKOVIC GETS HIS FIRST FOR BRIGHTON AS THE SEAGULLS DRAW LEVEL! De Cuyper's corner comes in from the right, and Vuskovic heads in from close range as Trafford can't get across amidst contact!
71'
It's a great delivery from De Cuyper and it comes as his first assist of the season.
71'
Great stat, here. Vuskovic has the most goals by any centre-back in Europe's big five leagues since the start of last season with seven.
72'
In the second change, Calvert-Lewin comes off for Lukas Nmecha.
73'
After conceding, Leeds look to the fringes as Tanaka is replaced by Harry Wilson.
73'
PENALTY APPEALS WAVE AWAY BY ATTWELL! Yalcouye flies through the centre and falls as he cuts inside Elvedi in the box! The referee no doubt sees the arm across him, but says nothing doing!
75'

77'
Substitution Maxim De Cuyper Promise David
77'
Substitution Ferdi Kadioglu João Pedro Loureiro da Costa
78'
Brighton go to the bench now, taking off De Cuyper for Canadian striker, Promise David.
77'
Kadioglu is the next to be taken off, with Costinha.his replacement.
78'
Ten of Brighton's 13 shots in this game have come in the second half, as well as four of their five attempts on target. That's a real contrast to the opening exchanges.
80'
Yalcouye is bright in the half-spaces and sets up Ayari. He shapes for the bottom-right corner, but Trafford saves well.
82'
Yellow Card Harry Wilson
85'
Gumundsson fouls Costinha, which is fortunate as the Swede was nearly in after robbing the ball off the Seagulls' defender!
84'
Wilson is the latest player in the book after scything down Boscagli with a miss-timed lunge.
85'
David sees a cross from the left come at him late inside the box, and he just can't get a convincing stab goalwards.
86'
Yellow Card Promise David
88'
David is dispossessed high on the right and then slides in on Gudmundsson to wipe him out and earn a booking.
88'
WHAT A CHANCE! Gross skies it from inside the box! The ball drops after an Elvedi touch from a right-sided cross, and the midfielder just can't get over his effort! Up the other end, Nmecha comes close, firing low past the right post!
89'
Aaronsen wins a free-kick. In comes the delivery from the left with Elvedi the target. It's cleared.
90'
Up goes the board, and we'll see a minimum of four minutes of added time.
