84. Gray cuts inside on the far side. He has options but he goes for the low shot from distance and it’s easily saved by Young.

83. The hosts do brilliantly to open up Leeds down the left. Carole is left along with Moore. The Foxes can only lift the cross into Klaesson’s hands, though.

81. McCarron is dragged to the floor on halfway. Daley-Campbell earns himself a yellow for his troubles.

80. More patience required than that... Leeds build it nicely. McCarron has it on the edge but he drills a low shot wide of the post. Kicks the turf in frustration.

79. They win a corner. It’s headed clear but it’s only as far as Daley-Campbell. He opts to let fly but it’s an easy catch for Klaesson.

78. Leeds committing bodies forward now... Pennant races through for the hosts and Klaesson saves as his near post.

76. Fitzhugh with a lazy tackle in the Leeds half and he earns the first booking of the night. That’s his last act of the evening, as he’s replaced. Pennant on in his place.

75. They waste it... Leicester turn the ball over on half way and have a two on two. McAteer misreads his team-mates run though. He plays the ball into the box just as it’s stopped and Klaesson can gather. Leeds need to try and find some momentum from somewhere - young side out there now for Mark Jackson.

74. Snowdon off, Carole on.

73. Fitzhugh is over it abut 30 yards from goal. He swings in a low ball which bounces and is cleared by Kenneh. A shot from range then takes a deflection and is gathered by Klaesson.
