Another wing back who has been prolific in the attacking third this season is James Justin, who has averaged 1.15 attempts at goal per 90 across the campaign. The Leeds defender has landed this bet in 14 of his last 17 league starts, during which he’s managed 22 shots, and so we can trust that he’ll be getting forward again for the last game of the season in front of the Elland Road faithful. 

Brighton still have hopes of qualifying for the Champions League but have struggled to keep the opposition at bay on the road, where their opponents average 12.12 shots per game. Leeds showed on Monday night that they’re happy to play the role of spoilers, and with no reason to sit in and defend, they should get plenty of shots off with Justin hopefully involved again.

Leeds' home form has been a real positive this season, and their survival in the top-flight has largely been built on their performances at Elland Road. In fact, 29 of their 44 league points this season have been picked up in front of a home crowd. Daniel Farke’s men were unfortunate to be held to a 1-1 draw by Spurs last time out, as Sean Longstaff struck the crossbar deep into injury time, but it extended their impressive unbeaten run to seven matches. 

Brighton are another side in fine form, and they bounced back from their 3-1 loss against Newcastle with a convincing win over Wolves last time out. Over 2.5 goals has landed in each of their last four matches on the bounce, and the Seagulls will have to keep pushing here as they are still in for a chance of finishing 6th.

The reverse fixture between the sides finished 3-0, in what was a dominant performance from Brighton on home turf. They racked up 14 shots worth 3.07 xG, while Leeds managed just five shots in return. However, the visitors were still able to comfortably clear this line with seven corners, and they should be able to find much more success going forward here in front of their home crowd. 

Leeds are averaging 5.5 corners per game at home in the league this season, compared to just 3.22 when playing away. In fact, they have cleared this line in each of their last 12 matches at Elland Road in a row, including against the likes of Man City, Arsenal and Man United. They like to play with width, pushing their wing backs forward and opting to cross the ball in, which consistently makes corners a target.

Jack Hinshelwood has been in exceptional form recently, and he extended his impressive run by scoring against Wolves last time out. That means he has now found the back of the net in three successive matches, and his confidence should be sky-high at the moment. The 21-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Seagulls, operating in an advanced midfield role, and he has helped them push for a European finish. 

Hinshelwood is averaging 1.82 shots per 90 across all competitions this season, and that figure has steadily increased over the last few games. In fact, he has recorded 22 shots in his last ten starts, and has landed this selection in seven of those. The Englishman tends to pick up promising positions inside the box looking to get on the end of crosses, and he has shown that he has an eye for goal.

Gabriel Gudmundsson has missed the last two matches for Leeds with a hamstring injury, which means James Justin has been shifted across to the left wing back role. He has featured there a few times this season, deputising when Gudmundsson has been unavailable, and Justin is able to pick up much more promising attacking positions there, than when he operates in the back three. 

He has registered a shot in each of his last two games at wing back, including a shot on target against Burnley. Justin is averaging 1.27 shots per 90 this season, and that figure looks set to continue rising if he remains in this role. Justin started twice in this wing back role a few weeks ago, and he recorded three shots against Brentford in the league and another three efforts against West Ham in the FA Cup.
