Sports Mole looks ahead to Leeds United's first game of the Championship season against Brighton & Hove Albion at Elland Road tomorrow.

Leeds United are expecting their largest opening-day crowd at Elland Road in over a decade for their Championship match against Brighton & Hove Albion tomorrow.

Manager Brian McDermott has new signings Luke Murphy, Noel Hunt and Matt Smith available for his squad for the game.

Striker El-Hadji Diouf and midfielder Rodolph Austin are both suspended for receiving red cards in Leeds' final home game of last season.

New Seagulls manager Oscar Garcia could include former Athletic Bilbao midfielder David Lopez in his team, after he played 45 minutes during their friendly with Norwich last month.

Striker Craig Mackhail-Smith is the visitors' only absentee, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury which will keep him off the pitch until September.

Possible lineups:

Leeds: Kenny, Peltier, Lees, Drury, Warnock, Pugh, Thompson, Murphy, Tonge, Hunt, Smith,

Brighton: Kuszczak, Greer, El-Abd, Calderon, Bruno, Orlandi, Agustien, Lopez, Crofts, Barnes, Ulloa

Sports Mole says: Leeds to win 2-1
