Leeds United 2-0 Millwall highlights: Gnonto and James score to send hosts top of the Championship table
and live on Freeview channel 276
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.
