Brighton vs Leeds verdict as BBC pundit shows what he thinks of Daniel Farke – ‘I kept hearing’
Leeds United face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, and manager Daniel Farke has been praised by a pundit following a perhaps surprisingly promising start to life back in the Premier League

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been praised by pundit Chris Sutton, who has changed his tune ahead of their Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Whites will take on the Seagulls on Saturday afternoon as they make the trip to the Amex Stadium.

ds are 15th in the Premier League table and claimed a 2-1 victory over struggling West Ham United in their previous fixture to see them climb the overall standings.

Farke has overseen three victories as Leeds manager in the Premier League since guiding the club to promotion to the top flight.

The match against Brighton will give United an opportunity to climb the table even further in the first weekend of November.

Sutton, a former Premier League striker, has praised Farke and Leeds for their start to the season so far. However, Sutton still believes that United will fall to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton this weekend.

Leeds have made a great start and I am pleased for Daniel Farke,” Sutton told BBC Sport.

“He took a lot of stick when he was at Norwich, when I kept hearing how he wasn’t a Premier League manager, but apart from their heavy defeat at leaders Arsenal, his side have been competitive in all of their games so far.

I am still going with a Brighton win here, though.

“The Seagulls did not play well when they lost at Manchester United last weekend, then went out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of the Gunners on Wednesday, but they are unbeaten at home so far and I am expecting them to bounce back.”

Brighton & Hove Albion thrashed Leeds United 3-0 in their Premier League match on Saturday, November 1, 2025. This verdict isn’t surprising, considering Leeds’s tough start to the season. The loss might fuel speculation about Daniel Farke’s future as Leeds United manager, but former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson insists Farke will be in charge of Leeds United next season, saying “one million per cent” ¹.

Some pundits believe Farke has done a brilliant job in his debut campaign at Elland Road, and the club seems to be backing him despite their poor performance. Chairman Paraag Marathe is reportedly a fan of Farke and believes he can become one of the top coaches in Europe with financial backing this summer ² ³.

The club might use the summer transfer window to strengthen the squad and give Farke a better chance of success in the Premier League. Potential signings could include players like Borussia Monchengladbach’s Julian Weigl, who played under Farke at the Bundesliga club ⁴.
