Leicester City 0-1 Leeds United highlights: Georginio winner caps excellent performance at King Power Stadium
Farke and his coaching staff will have spent the week diligently assessing how Leicester are likely to set up at the King Power Stadium on Friday night, in what is likely to prove the fiercest test of Leeds’ promotion credentials this season.
The Foxes are 1st, and a whopping 14 points ahead of third-place Leeds, although the Whites go into this one on the back of a convincing performance and victory against Huddersfield Town last weekend. In addition, Leeds have won four of their last five and have no major injury concerns, leaving Farke to pick as strong an XI as he could hope for.
Build-up, team news, goal and score updates from the King Power this evening.
LIVE: Leicester City vs Leeds United
Tense moments
80’ Leicester corner. Bamford getting ready. Rodon flicks the set-piece away for another corner. Gruev also getting ready it looks like.
Dig in, lads
78’ Leeds digging in as best they can but there are some tired legs out there. Couple of instances under pressure in the last five-ten minutes when Archie Gray has shown excellent composure to pick a pass instead of hoofing it.
Dan James
74’ CHANCE. Leeds get out of jail at one end and race away with Dan James up the other. Welshman has options but cuts inside onto his left and shoots. Hermansen holds.
Tide turning
73’ Leicester with the crowd behind them and wind in their sails now. Leeds could do with a lift.
Too much on it
72’ Fatawu lashes one over the crossbar. Dropping ball at the far post from Mavididi’s cross on the other side, Ghanaian gives it too much welly.
Fingers crossed
64’ Ampadu down and staying there after a clash with Iheanacho. Nigerian forward appeared to kick him in the heel/Achilles area. Receiving treatment now.
