Leeds United visit the Coventry Building Society Arena this afternoon in what is their final 3pm kick-off of the season as Mark Robins’ Coventry City side await.

Daniel Farke and his Leeds team are into the ‘crunch period’ of the season with just six games remaining between now and the end of the 2023/24 campaign. Play-off chasing Coventry are today’s opponents and could yet have a major say in how the top of the table shapes up by May 4.

The Sky Blues have Leeds (6 Apr), Southampton (9 Apr) and Ipswich Town (30 Apr) left to play, each of whom are keen to be playing Premier League football next term.

United go into this one unbeaten in their last 15 league games, winning 13 of those contests including most recently a late 3-1 victory over Hull City. Farke was without Connor Roberts, Willy Gnonto and Ilia Gruev against the Tigers and is likely to be without at least two of those three for Leeds’ trip to the Coventry Building Society Arena. The manager did however say he was hopeful Bulgarian international and tempo-dictating midfield presence Gruev could feature in his squad this weekend, but by no means is the 23-year-old a certainty to be involved.

Kick-off this afternoon is at 3pm. Team news, build-up, live match updates and analysis here.

Coventry City vs Leeds United LIVE

88' Simms has Ampadu in a headlock for a good 20 seconds. Yellow for each. Interesting decision.

Wright off, Dasilva on for the hosts.

90' Five added minutes as Firpo teases a brilliant ball into the area from a deep free-kick. Nobody on the end of it.

90+2' Eccles booked for a late one on Firpo. Time of the essence now for Leeds.

90+3' What a golden opportunity. Firpo's free-kick doesn't have much power on it but Joseph clips it through for Piroe who puts it straight at Collins. Leeds win a succession of corners afterwards.

FT: Coventry 2-1 Leeds

Not enough. Poor goals to concede and the attack-vs-defence second half yielded just one goal for the visitors. That’s a blow.
