Leeds United 3-0 Birmingham City highlights: Whites back to winning ways as Bamford breaks 23/24 duck
Daniel Farke's men ended 2023 with back-to-back defeats against Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion but will be looking to bounce back in their first game of 2024 with victory over Wayne Rooney's Birmingham.
The Blues have won just two of their last 14 matches with the former England striker under increasing pressure to turn the club's fortunes around. Given Leeds' unbeaten home form this season, that will be no easy task, especially with Farke and Leeds keen to put an end to their own difficulties.

Leeds United vs Birmingham City LIVE
First action for the ER debutant
45+3' Dembele gets away from Rodon and Ampadu before testing Klaesson for the first time this afternoon. Low save, away for a corner.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL 2-0 DAN JAMES
45+1' James scores and it has been coming. Firpo cross from the left meets James on the penalty spot more-or-less and his first time effort deflects in, wrong-footing Ruddy. Big fist pump and swivel celebration from Farke.
Leeds on top
44' Firpo tees up Dan James after a nice one-two with Summerville. Ruddy down low to his right to deny the Welshman a goal.
