Leeds United v Harrogate Town live

Every player in a snood. Attendance will be interesting this evening. Expecting it to be fairly full. Town sold their 4000 allocation for a club record away following.

Leeds warm up

And ground filling up, would say it’s already about half full with 15 minutes until kick-off, expecting 30,000 plus. Town end full.

Players out at Elland Road

1: Joseph kicks us off, Elland Road is SOLD OUT

1: Solomon is the no 10, Schmidt is right back, Byram left back, Guilavogui and Struijk the centre backs. Gnonto on the right, Ramazani the left. Town survive early Leeds attack, Struijk then penalised for a foul even though he got the ball

4: Into the mixer but Leeds get it away through Guilavogui

First attempt Leeds

6: Ramazani shot from the edge of the box straight at keeper Belshaw.

7: March gets in behind Guilavogui, not exactly clean through but half a chance, lobbed attempt easily saved by Darlow who had to backtrack a bit but sorted it out.

Half a chance Leeds

9: Schmidt, who has been bright, slips in Solomon but his cross is easily gathered by Belshaw

Leeds attack wasted

9: Gnonto is away down the right but cross flies through the box, well ahead of Joseph, good cross but gone to waste

Another cross dealt with

12: Solomon this time from the left, Leeds with all the possession, Town chasing about and they are doing a lot of running

Wow Leeds lucky - no Town penalty

13: Guilavogui is a lucky boy, March gets in behind him - again - this time from the left and this time into the box, Guilavogui has his hand on his back and March tumbles to the ground, looks like a pen but not given

15: Cleared by Town but Leeds come again and another Solomon cross is cleared for another corner

16: But Leeds straight back with the ball, that might have been Town’s big chance and that looked very lucky for Leeds.

16: Weaves his way into the box, shot deflected behind for another corner

17: Again - and all the way back to Darlow
