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
Over the top
61' James' first act is to whip in a good cross. Bamford takes the speed off it and the ball falls at Anthony's feet, still spinning. Can't keep his attempt down, though.
59' Gnonto blazes high and wide. Last action of the game. Spence, Gnonto and Byram off. Bamford, James, Anthony on.
56' Rodon rises from Summerville's lofty free-kick delivery but heads over the crossbar, as well as the attempted punch of Baggies 'keeper Palmer.
Need to lock that side down
53' West Brom find Wallace in acres of space again on that side. In fact they had two players free. Winning corners aplenty in the second half.
Not promising
52' Albion having the better of the opening stages of this second half. Little to report other than the occasional blocked shot. Leeds to have a run into the final third with possession yet,
46' Gruev booked. Beaten to the punch as West Brom went to counter. Just hauls Molumby to the floor inside Baggies' half.
