Leeds United 1-0 Watford - LIVE BLOG: Marcelo Bielsa post-match reaction from Elland Road

Leeds United take on Watford in the Premier League at Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa will be hoping the visit of the Hornets to LS11 can bring his side three points ahead of the upcoming October international break.

Leeds are yet to come away from a league encounter victorious since the summer break and will try again at the seventh attempt today.

United have been hit by a number of injuries in recent weeks, which saw Charlie Cresswell handed his Premier League debut last weekend in the loss to West Ham, though have earned three draws this term.

Bielsa's men do sit in the early season relegation zone but will be hoping they can kickstart the campaign against Xisco Munoz's side in front of another sold out Elland Road stadium.

90+2. Cooper is blocking everything as Watford thrown everyone forward. Leeds twice guilty of needless giveaways, the skipper was there. Roberts wins a free-kick that steadies things a little.

Watford booking

Leeds penalty shout

89. James gets into the box, he goes down. Nothing given. Raphinha and Roberts connect... Leeds want a corner but it’s not given. Goal-kick.

LEEDS HIT THE CROSSBAR

88. HOW?!?! Deary me. Phillips lifts a free-kick into the box. Foster comes to collect but drops it. Roberts shoots and it’s blocked on the line by Kucka. He produces another stunning effort from a hard angle and smashes the crossbar. So close! Watford survive.

Leeds corner

87. Attendance: 36,261. Meanwhile, Leeds come forward again. Roberts’ shot-cross is blocked for another corner. James was dragged down off the play by Rose. The ball is at the right end of the pitch, for now.

Frantic minute or so

86. Klich opts for a pass to Rodrigo instead of a shot, but it doesn’t reach Rodrigo inside the box. Mild panic at the other end as Meslier has to come out and head a loose ball clear. Bit edgy.

Leeds attack

82. Lovely ball from Phillips releases Roberts down the left flank. He’s in behind and Raphinha is racing into the area... he delivers low but Watford get between the winger and the ball. They then clear the corner.

Into the last 10

80. United should be out of sight but it’s a familiar story. They’ve not taken their chances this afternoon to kill this one off, so there’s some nerves in the air every time Watford cross halfway.

Leeds change

78. Dallas has spent the last few minutes down... he can’t continue. Roberts comes on in his place.
