Pontus Jansson is aware that Leeds United’s upcoming game against Brighton & Hove Albion will be tough, with the defender insisting that the Whites will be doing their homework on the Seagulls before the clash at the Amex on Friday by taking in video analysis today.

Leeds, who beat Aston Villa 2-0 last weekend, are currently fourth in the Championship table with 32 points from 19 games.




Brighton too have been in fine form this season and presently find themselves in second spot in the table with 39 points, just one behind leaders Newcastle United.

And Jansson, who explained that Brighton’s league position shows how good a team they are, revealed that Leeds will gather more information about Chris Hughton’s side before Friday’s encounter.
 


“Brighton will be a tough game, of course”, he said in a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
