The Whites are ready to welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. Leeds are clearly on top, winning 8 and drawing 4 of the 13 games played.
The previous match played between the two at Elland Road was within the last three years, in September 2005, when they fought out a thrilling, high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
It's not been a very profitable last few weeks for Leeds and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
