Leeds v Brighton preview

Team news for Saturday afternoon's Championship clash between Leeds and Brighton at Elland Road.

Leeds caretaker manager Neil Redfearn has no new injury or suspension worries as he takes charge of his second game.

Redfearn, who made a winning start as temporary boss last week at Bristol City, has three more games to convince chairman Ken Bates he is the right choice to succeed Simon Grayson on a permanent basis.

Redfearn said: "We got one or two bumps and bruises down at Bristol City, but nothing major, no strains or pulls or tears and they had a day to recover on Sunday.

"We went back to work on Monday and Tuesday and the lads are all fine."

Adam Smith, on loan from Tottenham, is hoping to continue at full-back in his first home appearance and USA international winger Robbie Rogers will be hoping to make his debut for the club after he was an unused substitute last weekend.

Leeds remain just two points off the play-off places and Redfearn is unlikely to make any unforced changes as he seeks stability following the fall-out of Grayson's dismissal last week.

Brighton will be without Matt Sparrow.

Midfielder Sparrow starts a three-match ban after he was sent off during the 1-0 win over Leicester last Saturday.

Defender Tommy Elphick remains a long-term absentee with an Achilles injury and midfielder Gary Dicker has only just resumed light training after a fractured fibula.

But the injuries which have plagued Brighton over the past couple of months have otherwise cleared up.

Full-back Gonzalo Jara Reyes missed out against Leicester with a slight groin problem and could make his second Seagulls debut after rejoining from West Brom, while wingers Craig Noone and Kazenga LuaLua have shaken off hamstring injuries.

Manager Gus Poyet returns to Elland Road after a spell as assistant boss five years ago.
