A lot has changed about Leeds since they got thumped by Brighton at Amex Stadium in November.

This will be a lot closer, and because of that it is also a lot harder to call.

I've been getting my Brighton predictions wrong for most of the season and I am not exactly confident that this will be the week when that changes.

I was tempted to back the Seagulls here because they are in good form and can still make sixth spot, but Leeds are playing well too and they were unlucky not to beat Tottenham on Monday.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Sunday's match (15:00 GMT), with Leeds going in search of their first top-flight win against Brighton since 1982.

Job done for Leeds

Leeds can celebrate mission accomplished in their final home game of the season, with Premier League survival made mathematically certain by West Ham's defeat against Arsenal last Sunday.

Despite achieving their goal with three games to spare, Daniel Farke's side nonetheless produced a typically committed display against Tottenham on Monday.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's second-half penalty earned the Whites a 1-1 draw, extending their unbeaten run to seven league matches, and it could have been even better – Sean Longstaff was denied a late winner by a brilliant reflex save from Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

A strong end to the campaign could still see Leeds finish in midtable – theoretically even inside the top half – but there is additional motivation for Calvert-Lewin, who is pressing his claims for a place in England's World Cup squad.

The 29-year-old has scored in back-to-back appearances, taking his tally to 13 top-flight goals for the season, the joint-second highest total of his career.

Sixth place in sight for Seagulls

With Bournemouth not in action until Tuesday, when they host title-chasing Manchester City, a Brighton victory at Elland Road will take them sixth in the table.

Finishing in that position would guarantee Fabian Hurzeler's side Europa League football next season and could even result in Champions League qualification – if Aston Villa end fifth and win Wednesday's Europa League final.

The in-form Seagulls comfortably defeated bottom side Wolves last time out, claiming their sixth Premier League win since the start of March – no side has more victories in that period.

Hurzeler's team can also draw confidence from their excellent record in this fixture. They have not lost a top-flight game against Leeds for 44 years, winning four and drawing three of the seven Premier League meetings since then.

Brighton manager Dario Vidosic says he "hasn't really thought about" the FA Cup final with his focus on helping the Seagulls to their "best season ever" in the Women's Super League.

Following their dramatic FA Cup semi-final win at Liverpool last weekend, Brighton conclude their league season at home to Tottenham on Saturday.

Victory over fifth-placed Spurs would take Brighton to 29 points, one more than their previous best of 28 in a WSL campaign, set last term under Vidosic.

"I don't want to talk about [the FA Cup final], I haven't really thought about it because I know that we've got a very tough opponent on Saturday," Vidosic said.

"We want to finish the season on the most positive note.

"We've got the potential to also have our best season ever. So there's a lot of things on the line for us... it wouldn't be fair and if we did try to turn our attention now for a game that's two weeks down the line, it won't end nicely for us then tomorrow."

As the cup final against Manchester City is on 31 May, Vidosic can name his strongest XI safe in the knowledge that his players will have plenty of time to recover.

However, there was little chance he was ever going to take the challenge posed by Spurs lightly.

"They've got a really exciting team, they made some great signings throughout the season, some great young talent that I think will be very household names, very, very quickly in this league and around the world."

Brighton can't rely on other results to secure European football next season, says former Albion midfielder Warren Aspinall

The Seagulls travel to a "bouncing" Leeds United on Sunday, who guaranteed their own Premier League survival last weekend, but Aspinall believes Fabian Hurzeler's side can take all three points.

"Elland Road is going to be bouncing on Sunday because they're safe," Aspinall told BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast.

"The fans have been partying and hopefully the players have been partying in the last day or two! But they've got a game to play and they don't want to be embarrassed at home so they'll give it a go. But we can beat these.

"I know we don't get good results up there - draws in the Premier League and Championship lately - and they've got some good individual players but they're playing wing-backs with Dan James, but he is a winger by trade so we have to get after him."

With two games remaining Brighton currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, which would qualify them for the Conference League next season. But Aspinall says the players should believe they can finish higher.

"If we win both games, I think we'll just make sixth because I don't see Bournemouth beating Manchester City [on Tuesday]. If they get a point, they're three ahead of us and then it's down to the last game and our goal difference is a bit better and they play Nottingham Forest away.

"We just have to keep doing what we're doing which is winning football matches, it's all you can do. A massive game Sunday that could take them to 56 points and keeps Brentford, Chelsea and Everton at arm's length.

"It's up to what we do - we can't rely on the rest."

Ahead of his return to Elland Road, Brighton forward Georginio Rutter spoke to BBC Radio Sussex about his time at former club Leeds.

"Elland Road was special for me, to go back there is special," Rutter explained.

"It's tough. It's the first time in my life that I am going to play against my ex-team there so it is special but like I say, it's football.

"I have to deal with it but it is going to be tough. I know some friends there but they stay up, it's guaranteed so it's alright. I thought the worst scenario was if they were struggling and we play against them and beat them but now it's fine."

Rutter joined the Whites for a club record fee in January 2023 in a deal worth up to £36m before leaving to join Brighton for another club record fee of £40m in August 2024.

He feels he had an "unbelievable" connection with Leeds' fans, adding: "I think the fans there and me were very connected. I like to play football, I enjoy, I try to be friends with everybody and I think the fans like it so it is going to be special.

"I wait for a great welcome because I didn't leave in a bad picture and even now they are happy because every time I score it was against West Ham, Burnley and Tottenham so they were happy."

Rutter gave his thoughts on the Leeds squad and the job manager Daniel Farke has done: "It was a tough beginning of the season but he changed this in January. Tactically everybody was saying maybe the wrong choice but they did very good and they didn't lose many games so it is going to be tough. The crowd as well there in the stadium is very hard."

He added that Brighton will have to "be patient" and "don't think about the crowd" if they are to get a result on a tricky trip to Elland Road.
