Daniel Falk calls on Leeds United to put on their best performance to challenge Brighton.

Leeds United will travel to Brighton for their third Premier League match in the 2026/27 season. Manager Daniel Falk stated that although Brighton's squad has undergone some changes, their playing style remains excellent, and therefore urged his team to be at their best to face Brighton.

In the last round of the Premier League, Leeds United came from behind to draw 1-1 with Brentford after Donald Calvert-Lewin scored with an assist from Nmecha.

Speaking about the new signing, Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "Melvin Bal has played a lot of games in Ligue 1, and he can provide us with rotation at left-back or left wing-back, which is the addition we need. Although he has only trained with the team about twice so far, he is a very experienced player and is also at a good age."

“There’s also Matteo Bajoa, a young and promising player who has been playing for the Bundesliga for the past few years. He has a great personality, is very fast, and has a lot of potential. He is still very young, so he is a completely different type of player compared to Melvin Bal.”

Brighton's side, Schürlzerle's team, lost 3-4 to Chelsea in the last league match.

Daniel Falk stated, "Brighton has brought in a lot of new players, but the team's DNA remains. They still have the same manager and stick to the same style of play. Players always have an impact on the game, and the addition of players with different characteristics will also change the way the team plays. But overall, what I see is still the familiar style."

“They played exceptionally well in the second half of last season and ultimately qualified for Europe, and their start to this season has been impressive, as has their preseason preparations.”

In addition, Daniel Falk said, "Their overall form is very good, Schürlzer is coaching very well, and we will go to the away game with full respect. We must be at our best to be competitive in the game."
