Brighton and Hove Albion will assess the battered and bruised today following their excellent 4-0 win against West Ham at the Amex Stadium last Saturday.
The players were given the Sunday off after their thumping victory and will have reported back to the Lancing training ground today as they prepare for this weekend’s trip to Elland Road.
It is now a case of rest, recover and go again for Roberto De Zerbi’s impressive team as they continue their push for European qualification. The Albion are eighth in the league standings but have games in hand on those above them. “Of course you are looking at the table,” said Albion defender Joel Veltman after the win against the Hammers. “We saw Spurs and Newcastle lost. “We need to stay humble, we have some big teams behind us as well pushing for the three points.”
Another three points at Elland Road this Saturday would certainly help...but who is fit and who is struggling to face the Whites? Sussex World takes a look:
