Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest news concerning their Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend. 

This comes after Leeds journalist Adam Pope shared a post on his official Twitter page relaying comments made by Brighton manager Graham Potter in his recent press conference ahead of their midweek league match against Manchester City.

Nice easy one to start off with, what number does Phillips wear for Leeds United?

During his press conference, Potter revealed that Adam Lallana, Danny Welbeck, Tariq Lamptey and Aaron Connolly have been ruled out for the match against City.

In his post on Twitter, Pope said that Potter ruled out these players for the game against Leeds too and also mentioned that Ben White “went off holding his thigh” in Brighton’s FA Cup win over Newport County.

This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this news.

So, what did these Leeds fans have to say about this news on the Brighton players?

Looking at the replies to this post, it appears that these Leeds fans are now feeling very confident that their team should beat Brighton at the weekend.

Are you confident Leeds can beat Brighton?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Given how Marcelo Bielsa’s side recently crashed out of the FA Cup after a humiliating 3-0 defeat against League Two side Crawley Town, everyone at the Yorkshire club will undoubtedly be hoping to put that behind them by beating Brighton at the weekend.
