Leeds United know how to finish a game.
Anton Stach's free kick at the City Ground went in on 88 minutes. Dominic Calvert-Lewin's leveller against Brentford arrived in the 79th minute.
And the last time these two clubs met, Calvert-Lewin buried a winner six minutes into stoppage time at Elland Road.
Four points from two games, one goal conceded, and a habit of landing the decisive punch when it matters most. Daniel Farke has his side in good order.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's match.

Brighton Form Guide
Brighton opened the season by taking Aston Villa apart. Victor Lindelöf turned into his own net on eight minutes, Maxim De Cuyper curled in a second, and Jack Hinshelwood scored twice inside two minutes just past the half hour.
Stamford Bridge went differently. Fabian Hurzeler's side were 3-0 down inside 32 minutes, pulled it back to 4-3 and had Pascal Gross heading in at the death.
Seven goals scored, four conceded, and not a dull moment in either fixture.
The injury list is doing Hurzeler no favours. Kaoru Mitoma is working his way back from a hamstring problem, while Yankuba Minteh , Evan Ferguson and Stefanos Tzimas are all sidelined. Hinshelwood and Georginio Rutter – the latter a former Leeds United player – are rated as doubts.
That leaves Greece’s Charalampos Kostoulas to lead the line, as he did at Chelsea .
Leeds United Form Guide
Leeds United have been one of the most disciplined sides in the division so far. Only Arsenal and Hull City have conceded fewer than their solitary goal in two league games, and even that one – a Kevin Schade strike just before half-time – was cancelled out by Calvert-Lewin with 11 minutes left.
James Trafford has been excellent behind a back line built to frustrate. Farke asks his side to stay compact, absorb what comes and pick their moment – and the moments have continued to arrive. Both Leeds United goals this season have landed after the 79th minute.
Joe Rodon picked up a hamstring problem against Brentford and Farke will be keen to have his Wales defender back as soon as possible. Nico Elvedi slotted in without fuss, and the deadline-day business has left the club better stocked than they were a month ago.
Betting Tips
Brighton vs Leeds United Betting Tips
Dominic Calvert-Lewin Anytime Goalscorer – 2/1
The last man to score against Brighton and the focal point of everything Farke's side do going forward against a Brighton defence that shipped four at Stamford Bridge.
Draw – 5/2
Brighton are missing three attacking options and have kept one clean sheet in two outings. Leeds United have conceded once all season and can earn a valuable point here on their trip down south.
