and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites lined up for Sunday’s return to Championship action at Millwall sat in just 17th place but an impressive 3-0 victory at The Den saw Farke’s side soar into the division’s top ten for the first time this season.
The win followed a disappointing goalless draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the final game before the international break which itself arrived on the back of a fine 4-3 success at Ipswich Town.

Chucking it down
In Hull, grey skies and generally a bit grim but forecast to clear up for this evening. Even so, a jacket would be a good idea. Not that cold though.
Stopped raining
The forecast was actually right. But what will the forecast for Leeds United be tonight at the MKM Stadium as they seek WWW away from home? A win tonight could put Leeds fifth. Team news to come at 6.45pm and arrivals usually from around 6.15pm. Must be a huge temptation for Farke to go unchanged. All the news here as we get it.
