Speaking ahead of the match, the Italian insisted recent successes must not breed complacency, demanding a focused performance from his squad.\n\nDe Zerbi highlighted his team's performance in their 2-1 win at Aston Villa, which prompted him to keep an unchanged lineup. 'We played very well in Birmingham, and I think the whole idea was to keep the same first XI,' he said. 'But I'm lucky also on the bench I have good players.' This depth gives Brighton options, but De Zerbi has clearly favored continuity after strong results.\n\nThe Brighton boss stressed the need to reset mentally despite the two wins. 'We have to forget the last two wins. We have to keep just the same spirit, the same style of play, because we need to play football if we want another win tonight. And to be positive, but we can't forget what the situation was two weeks ago.' The reference to the situation two weeks ago hints at a prior slump, underlining the fragile nature of form in the Premier League.\n\nWhen asked whether Leeds' Premier League safety might make his task easier, De Zerbi dismissed the notion. 'Nothing changes, especially in the Premier League. You see Burnley against Villa yesterday – all games are very tough. To win we have to play our best, to fight, to run, to work, but to play according to our qualities.' He used Burnley's match as a cautionary tale, emphasizing that no opponent can be underestimated.\n\nDe Zerbi emphasized the importance of a strong start to engage the home crowd. 'For sure, the first 10 minutes we have to start strong to keep the fans with us. But we have to play 90 minutes and extra time, because we are not in a condition to think we can close the game inside 90 minutes.' His admission that Brighton cannot expect an early finish reflects respect for Leeds' resilience and the unpredictability of the league.\n\nThe Seagulls have climbed the table with their recent run, but De Zerbi remains grounded. Under his tenure, Brighton have embraced a possession-based, high-pressing identity. Against Leeds, they will likely control the tempo but must guard against counter-attacks. De Zerbi's tactical flexibility, evidenced by his bench options, could be decisive if the match tightens.\n\nLeeds, already safe, may play with freedom, but De Zerbi warned that changes nothing. His insistence on 'the same spirit, the same style' suggests Brighton will not alter their approach regardless of the opponent's circumstances. The manager's trust in his system has been a hallmark of his time at the club.\n\nThis match carries implications for Brighton's season trajectory. A third consecutive win would solidify a top-half finish and build momentum for next season. De Zerbi's comments about forgetting past wins indicate a short-term focus, but the longer view benefits from sustained performances.\n\nThe tactical duel will be intriguing. Brighton's patient build-up and pressing system face a Leeds side known for dynamic transitions. De Zerbi's reference to 'playing according to our qualities' means he expects his players to impose their style rather than adapt to Leeds.\n\nDe Zerbi also acknowledged the challenge of maintaining intensity. 'To win we have to play our best, to fight, to run, to work,' he said, painting a picture of relentless effort. His message is clear: no shortcuts, even against a safe opponent.\n\nAs kickoff approaches, Brighton fans will hope their team heeds De Zerbi's words. The manager's blend of humility and ambition sets the tone for a disciplined display. With the Premier League's unforgiving nature, every point matters.\n\nBased on reporting from The Guardian.","news","Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi urges his team to maintain spirit and style despite recent wins, warning Leeds safety doesn't ease Premier League challenge","326257546425798656","Aston Villa","329351125704642561","326135625054949376","Premier League","326324148068421632","Aston Villa vs Tottenham","2026-05-11T18:01:02Z","de-zerbi-brighton-must-forget-wins-to-beat-leeds","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002Flive\u002F2026\u002Fmay\u002F11\u002Ftottenham-v-leeds-premier-league-live","326257546291580928","Brighton",[61,50,45,64,65,66,67,68],"326257546358689792","326257546010562560","326257807814823936","326222707169431552","326222713142120448",[62,51,46,70,71,72,73,74],"Leeds","Burnley","Birmingham","Anderlecht","Canada","De Zerbi: Brighton Must Forget Wins to Beat Leeds",[77,108,139,162],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":78,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":79,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":80,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":81,"slug":82,"sourceName":83,"sourceURL":84,"teamId":85,"teamName":86,"teamIds":87,"teamNames":97,"title":107},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.

This is far more than a traditional clash; it's a direct battle for European football's grandest stage. Unai Emery's Villa, riding a wave of resurgence, are locked in a fierce fight for a top-four finish and a coveted UEFA Champions League spot. For Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham, the mission is equally critical: securing a top-five place to guarantee their own return to Europe's elite competition. The points here could define both clubs' summer transfer windows and financial futures.\n\nThe history between these two founding members of the Football League adds a layer of prestige. While not a local derby, their encounters are often fiercely contested, echoing memorable battles of the past, including the 1981 FA Cup Final. Tactically, this is a fascinating duel of philosophies. Expect Villa's intense, high-pressing system, orchestrated by the brilliant Ollie Watkins and the creative genius of Emiliano Martínez, to clash with Spurs' bold, attacking \"Ange-ball,\" which relies on rapid transitions and the devastating speed of players like Brennan Johnson and the guile of James Maddison.\n\nVilla Park will be a cauldron of noise, with the Holte End driving their team forward in what could be a historic season's climax. Fans can anticipate a high-stakes, end-to-end encounter where defensive solidity will be as crucial as attacking flair. Every tackle, every chance, will be met with a roar. This is a 90-minute shootout for a place at Europe's top table, promising drama, tension, and a result that will send shockwaves through the Premier League standings.",{"code":198,"id":50,"imagePath":199,"name":51,"slug":200},"HME","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.api-sports.io\u002Ffootball\u002Fteams\u002F66.png","aston-villa","2026-05-03T18:00:00Z",90,"326135624635518976","gb-premier-league","aston-villa-vs-tottenham-2026-05-03","finished",[]]
