Loan man Max Gradel firmly believes Saturday's trip to Brighton will be a good test for Leeds United.

Simon Grayson's men head for the south coast on the back of a run that has seen just one league defeat in 15 games.

United have won on the last two visits to Brighton, but the Withdean Stadium is always viewed as a tough nut to crack.

New Brighton boss Gus Poyet has presided over two wins since taking over last week, and winger Max Gradel reckons Saturday will be a good test.

"Brighton have done well in the last couple of games," said Max.

"They have a new manager and they will want to impress him, but we're looking for a result.

"I've played there before and because of the way the ground is you feel like the fans are not there because they are so far away.

"But you need to keep your head, and get a result."

Max's loan spell at Elland Road has been extended until the New Year, and the Leicester winger is determined to play his part in the promotion bid.

"There's a very good squad here and I don't see why Leeds won't win the league this year," he said.

"Winning games and winning trophies is what it's all about. Hopefully I can start some games and score some goals."
