Key Events

  • 7pm kick-off at Elland Road

Leeds subs: Grainger, Billett, Bird, Pickles, Brown, Brockie, Render.

All set at Elland Road

Warm ups done, rain coming down but stand opposite gradually filling up - the only stand open.

1: Underway! Leeds kick us off.

Bright start by Leeds

3: Nice move down the left, ball flies through the box, Leeds then come again and McDonald is played in down the left but smashes a rising shot into the side netting.

Chance, huge block - and Leeds formation

4: To deny Vincent who lets fly in the box after Leeds work the ball left to right, McDonald has made a very bright start down the left. Crew is playing centre mid alongside Chadwick. Chambers - no 10 - ahead of them, Lane up front. McDonald left wing, Vincent right wing. Cresswell and Lopata-White the centre backs. Richards (RB) and Toulson (LB) the full backs.

Another chance Leeds

8: Vincent heads over after another bright move down the left

Decent Leeds corner

10: From Chadwick, good delivery, outswinger, but Millwall clear

13: By Charlie Crew. Chests the ball down near the centre circle, controls it, looks up and plays a nice down the right for Vincent, Leeds look in but offside flag is raised.

14: Probably the stand out player so far, looks very lively and quick down the left, a constant threat, and the early attacks all came through him. Crew already looking composed for Leeds in the middle
