Leeds United 3-1 Leicester City highlights: Whites complete sensational comeback against league leaders
and live on Freeview channel 276
Enzo Maresca and Daniel Farke have both decreed that tonight's match is just another game, whilst acknowledging the magnitude of the fixture to media, pundits and fans of both sides alike. First meets second in the Championship as Leeds' unbeaten record at Elland Road this season comes under its greatest threat. The Foxes have picked up a staggering 38 points from 16 matches on the road this term and will prove a formidable opponent for Farke's squad.
Leeds are without the likes of Karl Darlow, Sam Byram and Pascal Struijk, while Patrick Bamford has an outside chance of making the matchday group after a minor calf issue caused him to withdraw from the warm-up at Swansea City last week.

Leeds United vs Leicester City LIVE
Take your time, lads
77' McAteer and Cannon on for Mavididi and Daka. Taking their time to exit the pitch.
Chance and sub
73' Awful finish from Daka who side-foots well wide. Leicester broke after Gruev gave it away and ball squared to Daka. Looked a lot like 2-0.
Firpo off for Roberts. Gray coming across to left-back.
71' Bamford nicks it off Vestergaard and momentarily Leeds are in. Leicester recover and tidy up. Connor Roberts being prepped to come on.
Getting closer
66' Leeds desperately lacking final killer touch. James breaks from his man, passes to Rutter, who then passes to Summerville in space. Checks back onto his right but the shot is blocked. Move kept alive as the same pair combine. Bamford shot then saved.
63' Leicester attack with speed. Dewsbury-Hall holds off Gruev and threads a great pass in between Gray for Mavididi to chase. Beats Meslier but shot flies past the post. Bamford and James waiting to come on.
Switch on
60' Leeds looking shaky at the back, giving possession up too easily. Again, Leicester given the chance to break forward and shoot through Mavididi but Meslier clutches the effort tightly to his chest.
Offside
59' Offside flag saves Leeds. Vestergaard header crashes against the crossbar. Ball falls to Choudhury who heads down and Daka sweeps into the net. But it's offside.
