and live on Freeview channel 276
Fresh from a much-needed league win at the weekend, Leeds are back in action tonight and return to the capital eyeing a place in the last eight of this year’s FA Cup.
Junior Firpo was the match-winner last Saturday, slotting beyond Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu in the 77th minute at Elland Road as the Whites secured a 1-0 victory. New head coach Javi Gracia was in the dugout for the first time and will be hoping to make it two wins from two this evening.

Fulham 2-0 Leeds United LIVE
Into orbit
76' Harrison cuts inside and sends a wayward effort high over the crossbar. #LUFC looking leggy now as Fulham sink back and protect what they have.
62' Mitrovic denied by a block inside Leeds' area. Fulham had countered pretty effectively after Roca's misplaced pass in the home side's defensive third.
GOAL! Fulham 2-0
56' What a strike by Manor Solomon. Israeli forward cuts inside and curls one into the far corner after playing a one-two with Mitrovic.
52' Another Rutter effort - this time wide of the mark and high. He's being supported better this half, starting to see more of the ball and not just with his back facing the goal.
Georgi Rutter
51' Rutter gets a shot off inside the area after Summerville got to the byline and cut back. Rodak saves and holds once more.
