Leeds United vs Plymouth Argyle live: Team news, goal and score updates from Elland Road

Leeds host Plymouth at Elland Road this afternoon

Leeds United host Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road this afternoon as Daniel Farke hopes his side can cope without stand-in skipper Pascal Struijk.

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.

Leeds' final fixture before the international break this month gives the team the chance to win six of their last seven games. Presently, the Whites are the Championship's most in-form side, having defeated Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last Friday, picking up 15 points from the last 18 available.

United go into this one sitting third in the table, while Plymouth lie 19th.

Build-up, team news, goal and score updates here throughout the afternoon. Kick-off is at 3pm.

Close call

68' Georginio escapes pressure near Leeds' corner flag and works it to Piroe in the middle for the breakaway. He slides the ball left to Summerville who runs clear and hits the stanchion behind the goal. Flag had gone up but Plymouth were chasing shadows.

Booking

66' Cooper penalised for a foul inside the Plymouth half. Play brought back by the referee to book Joe Edwards after clotheslining Dan James moments earlier.

As the kids might say

62' Rutter spins away from danger inside Plymouth's half and dinks one onto the head of Piroe who's made a run into the penalty area. Striker can't direct goalward and instead heads over, but what a ball that was from Georginio - he's cooking.

Yellow

61' Morgan Whittaker booked for a late tackle on Firpo.
