Leeds United 4-0 Ipswich Town highlights: Dominant Whites hit visitors for four in comprehensive table-top win

Leeds United host Ipswich Town in this afternoon's top-of-the-table clash at Elland Road which could see the Whites close the gap on the Tractor Boys to seven points, or see Kieran McKenna's side go thirteen clear.

Promotion six-pointers don't come much bigger than this. Leeds know only three points will do this afternoon, otherwise the task of catching Ipswich and Leicester City with half of the season remaining will feel almost insurmountable.

United come into this one on the back of a pair of disappointing results, but remain unbeaten at Elland Road this term. In addition, Leeds have already beaten Ipswich this season, courtesy of the 4-3 scoreline at Portman Road back in August.

Daniel Farke rallied the troops on Thursday during his pre-match press conference, declaring his love for the club, its fans and what it means to be Leeds United. The German has won this division twice before and is remaining calm despite the existing ten-point gap to the automatic promotion spots.

He will be without Jamie Shackleton and Sam Byram this afternoon, who miss out with glute and hamstring injuries, respectively. Junior Firpo and Ian Poveda are expected to return to the matchday squad, however.

Build-up, team news, goal and score updates here throughout the afternoon. Kick-off is at 12:30pm.

FT: Leeds United 4-0 Ipswich Town

Comprehensive. Merry Christmas.

90+1' Dominic Ball, ironically, does not get the ball as he slides in on Gnonto inside the centre circle. Yellow.

Into five minutes of added time

84' Leif Davis cheered off by the home fans as he is substituted for Brandon Williams, who is in turn, roundly booed.

Warm applause for the subs

81' Joseph on for Georginio; Bamford for Piroe.

79' Bamford's going to get ten minutes.

72' Kamara and Spence OFF; Gruev and Firpo ON.

71' CROSSBAR! Georginio's shot takes a deflection and crashes the woodwork. Corner ball, though. Lovely move, which began with Rutter, out wide to Spence, into Summerville who laid off for the 21 y/o.

69' Firpo and Gruev called back from their warm-up on the sideline.
