- Leeds United 3-1 Burnley
Kick-off next
Both teams are back inside at Elland Road. Final preparations being undertaken in the changing rooms ahead of the first whistle. A win would be vital for Leeds this afternoon to extend that gap to the relegation zone.
Here come the teams
Elland Road rises to its feet and ‘Marching On Together’ is getting a fine rendition. A big one it feels like to kick off the new year for Bielsa, three points would be lovely.
Updates next...
Pre-match duties
Premier League anthem done... we’re onto the coin toss next. Updates to come right here...
Burnley swap Leeds round
We’ve seen that a couple of times this season... Burnley make Leeds move ends to swap. United now kicking towards the Kop in the first half.
Leeds come forward
1. Raphinha down the right inside the first minute. He plays some nice stuff with Forshaw and Klich. He eventually crosses and it’s over the Harrison but Firpo misplaces a pass as the attack was building.
Burnley free-kick
3. Klich is clumsy on the far side. He goes through Taylor. Chance to swing in a dangerous free-kick... which Meslier punches clear.
Leeds attack
5. From the free-kick. Good break from the Whites from the Burnley set-piece, Raphinha hares away from halfway but can’t slip the ball into the path of Dallas’ run. Clarets, just, clear the ball at the vital moment.
