Brighton & Hove Albion assistant boss Charlie Oatway believes that Leeds United's league position will count for nothing when the two teams meet on Saturday.

Brighton & Hove Albion assistant manager Charlie Oatway has admitted that Leeds United's league position will count for nothing when the two sides meet on Saturday.

The Seagulls, who sit fourth in the Championship, travel to Elland Road looking to cement their position in the top-six.

Brian McDermott's Leeds are 11 points adrift of Brighton in 13th place, but Oatway has claimed that they will provide stern opposition.

"We hear that the manager has given them a new lease of life and he has them playing in a more relaxed way," Clubcall.com quotes Oatway as saying.

"Saturday has got the make-up of a fantastic game. Their manager is trying to build his relationship with the club and the fans so he will be going out to beat us.

"They will want to finish their last home game on a high as well, which will give them confidence for next season."

Brighton will guarantee themselves a playoff place if they beat Leeds.
