Leeds were leapfrogged into second by Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon as the Tractor Boys completed a 6-0 rout over Sheffield Wednesday, but United can reclaim their place in the automatic promotion places with victory over today's South London visitors.

Farke and his team were victorious at The Den back in September, winning by three goals to nil, however the return of head coach Neil Harris has coincided with an upturn in Millwall's form meaning this afternoon's meeting will not be an easy game.

Leeds United vs Millwall LIVE

90+2' POST! Dan James cuts inside and hits the frame of the goal. Gruev then booked for tugging back a Millwall counter.

90' Bamford, Kamara and Georginio off; Roberts, Piroe and Joseph on.

And six added minutes.

90' Piroe, Roberts and Joseph coming on for stoppage time.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL DAN JAMES 2-0

79' Georginio with his second assist of the day. Uses his body brilliantly to roll Tanganga and get to the byline. Cuts it back for unmarked James, who delays his shot and picks his spot. Millwall players on the line can't stop it going in.

78' Georginio and Rodon at the back post, the latter unmarked, get in each other's way. Could've been a free header from eight yards if they'd played that correctly.

77' So close to a second. Gray fizzes a pass down the line for James to race onto. He crosses low for Bamford whose attempt spins up onto the roof of the net via Tanganga's leg. Corner.

75' Great defending by Gray to stand up Obafemi as he tries to get a shot off having gone beyond Rodon. Ampadu in at the end to ensure he has no shooting angle.

Protect at all costs

74' Anthony on; Summerville off.
