Accrington Stanley 1-3 Leeds United highlights: Rutter debuts as Bamford and Harrison show worth in cup win
and live on Freeview channel 276
Jesse Marsch’s side visit the Lancashire club on the back of an emphatic FA Cup Third Round replay victory against Cardiff City and a commanding, but no so fruitful, 0-0 draw versus Premier League Brentford last weekend. Accrington on the other hand, needed extra-time against non-league Boreham Wood to secure passage to this stage of the competition, a game which will represent a tenth of their annual revenue.
Leeds boss Marsch is set to name a strong XI against the side currently one place above the relegation zone in English football’s third tier, with club-record signing Georginio Rutter destined for a full debut and £21 million summer addition Luis Sinisterra expected to feature, too.

Not this time
63' Rutter's turn to go close, knocking the ball around the goalkeeper but there's a Stanley defender on hand to clear the danger.
Off target
62' Bamford shoots but is off balance and half-volleys into the side-netting. Leeds need to start creating more opportunities like that - kill this game.
Nothing doing
58' Bamford pulled down as he attempts to latch onto Roca's lofted pass over the top. Referee waves away the protests once more.
Rodgers again
52' Long throw causes problems in Leeds' area. Meslier flaps, ball falls to Rodgers whose effort finds the side-netting.
