Jesse Marsch press conference live: Leeds United head coach discusses star man availability and Brighton task
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds are still unbeaten after four matches across all competitions this season with their latest triumph coming last night in the Carabao Cup.
United’s Second Round victory over Barnsley does not appear to have come at a cost as assistant head coach Rene Maric did not reveal any fresh injuries sustained in the line of duty during last night’s post-match press briefing.

Hide AdToday, the main man Jesse Marsch is back in the hotseat and will provide his customary update on the fitness and availability of his players, as well as previewing this weekend’s long trip to the south coast.
Graham Potter’s Brighton are Saturday’s opponents – something of a bogey team in recent seasons for the Whites – but three wins and one draw to begin the campaign should serve as encouragement heading into the fixture with the Seagulls.
Updates from Marsch filtering in here throughout the afternoon.

Will Bamford be ready?
The question on everybody’s lips: will Patrick Bamford be fit to feature this weekend?
Rene Maric spoke with us yesterday evening and remained rather non-committal on the status of Bamford’s groin injury, intimating the club’s medical staff were taking things day-by-day.
Marsch expected to provide greater clarity on that this afternoon.
