Brighton v Leeds: Key stats and talking points

After a rollercoaster start to their Premier League campaign, Brighton & Hove Albion welcome an improving Leeds United team to the Amex Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST). The Seagulls were 4-0 winners over Aston Villa in their opener, then lost 4-3 at Chelsea last time out. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler will have taken some positives from the clash at Stamford Bridge though, namely the manner in which his team bossed long periods of the contest. As for Leeds, they followed up a win over Nottingham Forest in their first game with a creditable draw at home to Brentford. A strong start to the season and some shrewd summer business means spirits are high at Elland Road. Brighton seeking balance Brighton games so far have certainly been eventful. The 4-3 loss at Stamford Bridge means they are just the second side since 1950 to score four or more goals in their first game of an English top-flight season and then concede four or more in their second, after Blackpool in 2010-11. Hurzeler would have been unhappy with the defensive lapses in the early stages of the game – they were 2-0 down after 14 minutes and 3-0 down after 32 minutes – but his team did show quality and spirit to battle back. Indeed, Brighton's possession of 74.4% was the highest on record (from 2003-04) by any side in a Premier League game against Chelsea. The Blues actually only completed 155 passes in the match, their lowest total in a Premier League game since 2003-04. Brighton have averaged 73.1% and 74.1% possession in their first two games so far this season, against Villa and Chelsea respectively. Since Opta records began in 2003-04, no side has averaged above 70% possession in their first three Premier League games. Against Leeds, Hurzeler will want to see the same sort of control without the chaos at the back. For all their possession, they have made more errors leading to a shot than any other team in the division so far. [BBC Sport] Leeds looking for elusive win While Leeds may be happy to relinquish possession on the road, they showed against Brentford last time out that getting on the front foot can help negate a dangerous opponent. Farke switched from a 5-3-2 to a 4-3-3 at the interval with his team trailing, and Leeds were much improved in the second half. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was on target with the equaliser, his 15th Premier League goal for the club. There is a sense that the Whites will be hugely reliant on the England forward to be a point of difference again this season. After two games of the new season, Calvert-Lewin has applied 104 high-intensity pressures in the opposition half, with only Hull's Oliver McBurnie, with 105, doing so more often. Only Igor Jesus of Nottingham Forest, with 16, has won more aerial duels than the Leeds striker's 11. With two away wins already recorded this season – at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and in the League Cup – Leeds will hope to end their miserable record at the Amex Stadium. They have played more matches without winning at the Amex than at any other stadium in their entire history, drawing three and losing seven of their 10 games there.
