TEAMS OUT
Here we go then... Leeds and Newcastle head out onto the pitch for the pre-match duties. Kick-off next...
KICK-OFF
1. We’re underway at Elland Road... updates to follow. Newcastle swapped Leeds round at the coin toss.
Leeds attack
1. Straight from kick-off. Raphinha gets down the right, cuts into the box but he’s smothered by the retreating Newcastle defence before he can shoot.
Leeds pressure
3. James goes into a hefty challenge on the near side in the Toon half. It’s on Trippier. Lovely tackle. Crowd like it. Lascelles tried to outmuscle him but he shook him off just before.
Newcastle attack
4. Newcastle chance. Into the box. Willock to Joelinton but he scoops his effort over the bar.
Leeds corner
6. Raphinha gets down the right. Slides in James in the area and he wins a corner ball...
Ayling in on ASM
7. First sign of life from the visitors dangerman. Saint-Maximin gets down the left and is met by a big challenge from Ayling.
Newcastle corner
8. Throw reaches Wood in the Leeds box. He swings a volley at it, wins a corner ball. Meslier is out to punch clear.
Steady away
10. A corner apiece in the last few minutes. No danger from either. Leeds trying to play at a high tempo, Newcastle slowing things down where possible.
