LEEDS CHANCE
18. Chance for Leeds... Drameh wins the ball back in the Leicester half. He slides in McGurk who leaves a defender on the floor before seeing a shot blocked. Had options to his right.
Leeds attack
15. Lewis Bate has come to play this evening - two lovely crossfield balls in the spaces of a minute. The latter he steals the ball to break up a Foxes attack and spreads it to McKinstry. The attack ends with a shot from McGurk but his effort is tame from outside the box.
Leeds pressure
12. Best spell in terms of possession for Leeds so far this evening. They’re pushing the Foxes back. McKinstry has looked very lively in the opening exchanges. Bate is starting to get his foot on the ball as well.
LEEDS CHANCE
9. Patient build up from Leeds. McKinstry - who has been busy so far - is into the box on the right. He squares to Dean but he can only toe it at goal. Saved.
LEEDS CHANCE
6. Brilliant start to this one. Both sides attacking at will. McKinstry sees another low effort saved after a nice ball from McGurk. Foxes then shoot wide at the other end.
Leicester corner
5. It’s Moore to the rescue. The Foxes counter and it’s three on two. Moore slides in though as United retreat.
LEEDS CHANCE
4. Early pressure from Leicester but Leeds break quickly. It’s McKinstry - he plays a one-two and sees a low shot saved from inside the area. Good chance. Dean has an effort palmed away as well.
Leeds defend well
3. The Foxes with some really nice play around the Leeds area. Moore and Kenneh produce last ditch challenges to keep the hosts out.
City attack
2. A first sight at goal for the hosts as they build an attack down the right. Marcal-Madivadua cuts to the edge of the box and shoots but it flies well wide. Both sides still settling into this one. Early days.
