Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Leeds United highlights: James and Summerville fire drenched Whites to victory
Daniel Farke's men go in search of a sixth win in seven matches at midday, with this afternoon's 12:30pm kick-off offering Leeds the chance to cut the gap to Ipswich Town to just four points. The Whites are currently adrift of the automatic promotion places by seven points but a win today would apply increasing pressure on the teams above them.
United are set to be without Junior Firpo, Stuart Dallas and Ian Poveda due to injury, match fitness and international duty, respectively, but the team Farke picks is expected to be one with minimal changes. Last week, the Whites saw off an in-form Middlesbrough side at Elland Road and will need to be perform in a similar fashion in Lancashire as prior to their 3-1 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday, Rovers had been on quite the run themselves.
Team news at 11:30, shortly after the players arrive this morning. Kick-off is at 12:30 - live updates throughout the afternoon right here.

This game is mental
62' Summerville and Piroe with the chance to shoot after great hold-up by Georginio. No room to crack one off, though.
Stretched
58' Game really stretched. Gray getting the run-around down his flank, Summerville & Kamara taking turns to break forward & attack Rovers' box. Piroe gets his feet in a tangle on the edge and can't get a shot away. Feels like another goal soon.
Pen shout
48' Now then. Pascal Struijk slides in at the byline and appears to guide the ball out of play with his arm, inside the penalty area. Rovers furious, they think it's a stone-waller. Corner.
