Leeds United 2-1 Plymouth Argyle highlights: James and Piroe score as Elland Road record remains
Leeds will be without as many as five first-team players for this weekend's fixture as Struijk, Joe Gelhardt, Djed Spence, Stuart Dallas and Jamie Shackleton are all ruled out against Plymouth Argyle.
The Pilgrims face a number of injury issues themselves with striker duo Ryan Hardie and Mustapha Bundu ruled out by boss Steven Schumacher. Although, summer signing and top scorer Morgan Whittaker is available and will be the Devon club's main threat at Elland Road.

FT: Leeds 2-1 Plymouth
Late goal made for a nervy finish, but Leeds were in control for most of that. Unbeaten home record still stands. Meanwhile, Sam Greenwood's 84th minute free-kick defeats Leicester. The gap shrinks some more.
Last man
89' Yellow. Piroe through on goal from Meslier's long kick forward. There was cover as Gibson gets the Dutchman's shirt and the rest. Calls for a red but that's a yellow all day.
Don't even think about it...
88' Plymouth with a couple of corners now. Leeds a little nervy since conceding.
