Greenwood goes close

13. Ooft. Greenwood unleases a dipping effort at goal from about 30-yards and it flies just wide of the mark.

12. Summerville gets the ball from a pass down the line from McCarron. Some nice skills sees him release at the defence and he’s dragged back three or four times before losing it. Free-kick brought back.

11. Fitzhugh hits the free-kick hard but it’s blocked by Joffy before being hooked away from danger.

Leicester free-kick

10. Fitzhugh is surrounded by four Leeds shirts - some nice skill, and he’s taken out as he gets just before the area. Free-kick. Good shooting chance coming up.

9. United get down the right. Ball squared and it’s cleared. The visitors then spring a counter, Cresswell slides in but he misses the tackle. Kenneh races back to block a pass through.

7. Quick throw releases Summerville into the box, he overplays a tad with the dribble and it’s a Leicester goal-kick. Pretty much sums up the game so far - uneventful.

5. Some nice passing on display from Leeds - Bate with the latest as he fires a crossfield ball to McKinstry. Neither side been into each other’s final third in the last few minutes. Leeds seeing more of the ball, they’re trying to build from the back.

2. Leicester penned Leeds back in the opening minute but United break out. Joffy with a nice turn on halfway, he spreads the ball out to McKinstry who drives down the left. Joffy is slid back in and his shot is blocked from a tight angle.
