Leeds United v Hull City live: Updates from Elland Road with new boy full Whites debut
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Both sides are unbeaten three games into the new league season although Hull sit on just three points following draws at home to Bristol City and Millwall, either side of another draw at Plymouth Argyle. Leeds bagged their first win of the new Championship campaign at the third attempt with last Friday night’s 2-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday, putting Daniel Farke’s Whites five points and up to sixth place. Victory against 14th-placed Hull today could feasibly send Leeds third.

Hide AdHere, upon landing at Elland Road, we will bring you all of the pre-match build-up and confirmed line-ups followed by match updates, analysis and reaction as the Whites face the Tigers. New Whites midfielder Ao Tanaka is available for selection having completed his move to Leeds before yesterday’s 12 noon cut-off point, unlike the day’s final summer signing Isaac Schmidt. Fellow new faces Largie Ramazani and Manor Solomon are also in contention to feature but Patrick Bamford and Dan James have already been ruled out due to hamstring injuries.
Leeds United v Hull City live
On Bogle - injury?
“No, just some cramps, it was an intense game, lots of sprints and against Millar. Even Archie had problems against him last season.”
On Schmidt
“I have watched many many games, he is an exciting player who can play both full back positions, he can get forward, we have a really interesting player but we will also give him time to adapt.”
On not getting a no 10
“It’s always difficult. It’s not easy when you don’t have a traditional no 10 but we have Aaronson and other options like Joel Piroe and perhaps one of our wingers can play there. We don’t have a Gascoigne or a Maradona but if you don’t then you have to find other ways.”
A work in progress - Farke
“It’s perhaps fair to say now that we don’t have the brand to be the big favourite in this league. We are not the finished product, but we have a good basement group. We have many interesting players but much work is needed. We are on a good path but I think we are far away from being the favourite in this league.”
On the window overall
“The task was to strengthen us in a few positions and we have done the business, got the full back, got the midfielder and got the two attacking positions, you could still speak about a no 10 but it was not easy in this market.”
On Joseph
“A perfect striker goal and perfect movement, I love this goal. It was also not an easy finish. I am delighted for him.”
Farke reaction
“It feels like a perfect home performance after a busy week for us, it’s never easy when you have so many new faces. It was a massive three points, a clean sheet and a very controlled performance, good for the mood, good for the confidence, good for the new players in a successful way, a perfect finish to August.”
Full reaction and recap to come here
Leeds up to 8 points out of a possible 12, 4th in the early table. 12 points for Sunderland,
Rothwell
90: Almost playing as the no 10 now, Tanaka behind him and Ampadu, Aaronson on the left and Ramazani on the right
Fine tackle by Pascal
90: Mops up potential danger and allows Leeds to break. Ramazani almost in down the left
New positions
88: Piroe now upfront, that was a smart finish from him. Tanaka centre mid with Rothwell, looks like Ampadu has dropped back a bit, in any case, Leeds passing it about to oles and playing out time
