10. It’s busy... Oldham drive down the left and put in a dangerous ball. It’s the hosts first attack of the game. Sutcliffe hooks the ball away inside the area before United win a free-kick.

9. Max Dean, this time. He’s all alone with two Oldham defenders around him. He shoots but it’s straight at Leutwiler.

8. Leeds go close again... Bate has the ball on the edge of the box. It opens up and he curls a shot just over the bar.

6. Big chance for Leeds, who have started well. They press Oldham into a mistake. Summerville is in, he squares it. McGurk is crowded and shoots wide after leaving the goalkeeper on the floor. There were bodies in the way.

4. Oldham try to play out from the back and Bate intercepts. He finds Dean who drives at the defence before being pulled down about 30-yards from goal. Both sides had exchanged possession before that.

1. Inside the first minute... Leeds race forward. Allen to Summerville... defender gets in the way. Leeds waste the corner as they take it short and pass it out of play.

1. We’re underway in Lancashire... updates to follow.
