Team News: Three changes for Brighton & Hove Albion

Sebastien Pocognoli comes in for the suspended Gaetan Bong in one of three changes as Brighton & Hove Albion welcome an unchanged Leeds United to the Amex.

Chris Hughton has made three alterations to his Brighton & Hove Albion side as they welcome an unchanged Leeds United to the Amex this evening.

As expected, Sebastien Pocognoli earns a recall at left-back after Gaetan Bong saw red in the goalless draw at Cardiff City last weekend.

The other two changes come in the middle of the park, as Anthony Knockaert earns back his starting place from Jiri Skalak and Oliver Norwood comes in for Steve Sidwell, who drops to the bench.

Glenn Murray and Sam Baldock continue their partnership up front as the Seagulls look to displace Newcastle United at the top of the Championship table.

Meanwhile, there are no changes from Leeds manager Garry Monk from their 2-0 win over a resurgent Aston Villa last time out, with Chris Wood leading the line in an expected 4-2-3-1 formation.

Attacking support comes from Hadi Sacko, Souleymane Doukara and Kemar Roofe, while Kalvin Phillips and Ronaldo Vieira will operate just in front of the back four.

Liam Cooper is named among the substitutes after overcoming an ankle injury, but the game comes too soon for Eunan O'Kane, who is still recovering from a groin strain picked up during the EFL Cup defeat to Liverpool last month.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Stockdale; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Pocognoli; Knockaert, Stephens, Norwood, Murphy; Baldock, Murray
Subs: Maenpaa, Goldson, Hunt, Sidwell, March, Skalak, Hemed

Leeds United: Green; Ayling, Bartley, Jansson, Taylor; Phillips, Vieira; Sacko, Roofe, Doukara; Wood
Subs: Silvestri, Cooper, Berardi, Dallas, Grimes, Mowatt, Antonsson
