Leeds United are taking on Newcastle United at St James' Park tonight - and we will bring you all the very latest as it happens here.

Marcelo Bielsa' s Whites will be looking to bounce back from Sunday's 3-0 reverse at home to Liverpool as part of a weekend which saw Newcastle beaten 4-1 at Manchester United.

The Magpies have amassed just one point from their first four games, one less than Leeds.

The Whites lost Diego Llorente to injury against the Reds as part of a contest in which fellow centre-back Pascal Struijk was shown a straight red card, for which he is now serving a three-game ban.

Another centre back, Robin Koch, has also been out injured with a pelvic issue whilst Adam Forshaw missed the Liverpool game with a muscular injury.

Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa confirmed at Thursday's pre-match press conference that Forshaw, Koch and Llorente would all miss the trip to St James' Park, in addition to the banned Struijk

The YEP's live blog will bring you all the pre-match build-up, team news and analysis followed by live match updates and reaction throughout Friday evening.

HUGE CHANCE LEEDS

45 + 3: Deary me, how have they not scored? Firpo breaking clear, ball worked to Raphinha whose shot is saved but Firpo is then in at the back post but wallops the ball over from close range. And that’s half time.

Saint-Maximin with the goal

44: It had to be. Joelinton cuts in from the left, lays the ball off to Saint-Maximin who keeps moving wider and wider from the edge of the box but then fires home a brilliant low finish into the bottom left.
