Leeds United are away to Brighton this weekend, and Roy Keane gave his thoughts on the game on The overlap show. Daniel Farke’s men will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Three games into the season and Farke’s men are yet to lose, with impressive results against Nottingham Forest and Brentford.
They will be going into Saturday’s game full of confidence after getting a result against Keith Andrews’ side.
Fabian Hurzeler’s team will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing defeat to Chelsea. Brighton could have got something out of the game, but failed to capitalize despite dominating most of the match.
Leeds fans will not be happy with the appointment of Stuart Attwell for Saturday’s game, after what happened in his last match in charge at Elland Road against Sunderland.

Both Leeds United and Brighton have had decent starts to their campaigns and will be up for the game.
The Whites will be wary of their record away to the Seagulls; they have not won a match at the AmEx in over a decade. But last season, they did take four points of Fabian Hurzeler.
They drew with Brighton away from home, and got a late win at Elland Road later in the season.
Roy Keane and the members of The Overlap show were predicting results ahead of the weekend. When it came to Leeds and Brighton, Keane had some words about Farke’s side.
”I think Leeds have had a steady start; and they got a great win at [Nottingham Forest].”
But ultimately he and the other guests predicted a 3-1 win for Brighton on Saturday.
Leeds’ away form will be crucial on Saturday
Everyone knows how good Leeds United are in front of the Elland Road crowd.
But many have overlooked the club’s form on the road since last season. The Whites have lost just once on the road since January, and their first two away games this season have been wins.
Daniel Farke has found a formula that works on the road for his side.
They are very compact and hard to break down; and with the addition of Harry Wilson this season, they have already shown their threat in transition.
If the Whites are able to execute their game plan well enough on Saturday, they could pull off a huge upset.
