West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Leeds United highlights: Diangana goal seals back-to-back defeats for Farke's men
These two sides could not be separated earlier this season as the Whites were held to a 1-1 draw by the Baggies at Elland Road back in August. Now, both teams find themselves firmly in play-off contention come the end of the season, although Leeds' sights remain set on automatic promotion.
Corberan's outfit have proven difficult to beat this term and most recently saw off prolific scorers Norwich City by a 1-0 scoreline on home turf. Leeds' last visit to this ground, however, delivered one of the side's most impressive displays en route to a ninth-place Premier League finish back in 2020/21 as a Raphinha-inspired United ran out 5-0 victors.

West Bromwich Albion vs Leeds United LIVE
Nothing doing
90+3' A pair of handball shouts inside the Albion penalty area are waved away by the officials.
Time almost up
90' Anthony dinks a nice cross into the area, headed behind by Kipre. Summerville and Ampadu off; Joseph and Firpo on.
Not today
85' Adam Reach with an audacious lob on Darlow which doesn't quite...Reach and the 'keeper gathers. Then up the other end, Bamford is played through once again but is flagged.
Offside
83' Gruev goes over the top with a pass that has had some joy previously tonight. Bamford gets a toe to it but is flagged offside. Game really petering out. Second half largely been a non-event.
Damp squib of a second half, this
75' Rutter keeps possession well and feeds Anthony down the left. His low cross meets Piroe but he handles as he brings the ball under control.
Albion sub - Mowatt off; Chalobah on.
74' Good move. Piroe into Dan James down the wide right channel. James with the cross into the middle looking for Bamford's run. Wins a corner which Gruev hits the first man with.
