Teams back in

Leeds head back into the changing rooms first. A huge reception for the Whites squad at Elland Road. Liverpool follow them in.

A rendition of ‘Marching On Together’ and ‘We are Leeds’ are being belted out. It’s going to be a cracker.

KICK-OFF

1. After loud applause for the knee ahead of kick-off... we’re underway at Elland Road. It is LOUD.

Liverpool start well

2. The visitors seeing all of the ball so far. They’re knocking it around well. United’s home support is greeting it with boos. No chances to speak of, as yet.

Bamford offside

4. Ayling floats a ball over the top of the Liverpool defence. Bamford is onto it as he chests it down and volley wide from a tight angle. The flag, though, is belatedly raised on the nearside.
