70. Marcal-Madivadua off, Russ on.

68. United win one... and there’s a long spell of pressure as the Foxes have to throw bodies in the way of openings. Bate, Gray, McCarron and Dean all trying to find a way through but Leeds are being held at bay so far.

66. Leeds with the pressure... Dean and McCarron see efforts blocked. Good response since going behind. Leicester pushed right back.

63. Sutcliffe off, Gray on.

61. Mendy off, Ewing on.

60. Leeds behind on the hour mark. Ball in from the left by Flynn and they don’t clear it. It falls kindly to Maswanhise who finishes at the second attempt.

GOAL LEICESTER CITY!

1-0...

60. Good pressure in building the play from the Whites. They get into the box before they come back out. It’s overran a little and McGurk takes down his man before Bate shoots over... free-kick given, though.

57. Bate has the ball after some good play. He’s on the edge... he could shoot but passes sideways to McGurk. He lets fly and it’s blocked. Game is in a bit of lull where neither side want to blink...

54. City chance... great block from Kenneh with Klaesson beaten. Marcal-Madivadua with the effort but he’s denied. Fitzhugh follows up which is blocked.
