  • 90'
    FT: That's all for now! Brilliantly entertaining and completely open from start to finish. Just as we have come to expect from Bielsa's Leeds. United take the day with clinical finishing that Leeds have sorely lacked today.
  • 89'
    Harrison puts it wide! It was an open goal after a low cross across the face of the goal beats the entire Utd defence.
  • 87'
    The excitement doesn't stop! More than 40 shots made. Phenomenal performances tonight.
  • 85'
    Telles fires home after a fantastic through ball into the area from Martial. Good Meslier save.
  • 84'
    Meslier makes a great couple of quick saves vs Cavani and James on the deflection. Leeds immediately attack.
  • 82'
    Great football has been played across the two teams today. Leeds always provide entertainment even if that comes at the expense of a less than stable back 4.
  • 80'
    Harrison picks up the ball in the area, but it fell just behind him and his shot was deflected out for a corner.
  • 77'
    No penalty given! Leeds have had 59 % possession so far and a good share of the chances too. Great end to end football.
  • 75'
    Penalty check for Leeds as two players are brought down in the area!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Leeds United en el 73'
  • 73'
    Great goal from Dallas. Beats de Gea from outside the area after a good assist from Raphinha.
  • 70'
    Van de Beek comes on for Bruno Fernandes. Cooper comes off injured for Leeds.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!
de Manchester United en el 69'
  • 69'
    Bruno converts it!
  • 68'
    After a lengthy pause and a clumsy challenge the ref points to the spot. Probably a dive from Martial but there was contact enough.
  • 65'
    James puts it through the legs of Meslier after a pass from McTominay into the area. Meslier should do better.
  • 64'
    Raphinha connects with a belter from a poor clearance from McTominay. de Gea pushes it wide.
  • 62'
    Bamford gets poked in the eyes by Maguire in a challenge from a cross but it looks accidental.
  • 59'
    McTominay almost makes it a hat-trick but Ayling tracks back and clears the cross with his head.
  • 57'
    Meslier gives away the ball from a poor long pass under pressure. He always has a lot of work to do with Leeds style of play.
  • 55'
    This time it's Leeds who counter united and have another shot blocked by Maguire.
  • 53'
    Maybe a bit of an interesting decision to book James for the dive. There was contact outside the area.
  • 52'
    James booked for diving and going for the penalty.
  • 51'
    Leeds still very much going all-out attack. Makes sense given the scoreline. Nothing else to lose so might as well give it a go.
  • 49'
    DE GEA SAVE. How has he stopped that Raphinha volley from a cross out wide. Out for a corner for now.
  • 48'
    Leeds have been described as 'wreckless' and 'unique'. Can't argue with that assessment. Brilliant to watch.
  • 46'
    Martial puts it wide! He scores that any other day of the week. One touch too many inside the area and the ball just got away from him.
  • 46'
    And we are off. Are Leeds still in with a chance
  • 45'
    HT: Entertaining if nothing else! Leeds have looked dangerous at times but United are the ones who will go into the second half with a smile.
  • 44'
    We know what Leeds are capable of but a comeback from 4 goals down is asking a lot...
  • 41'
    Another Leeds corner, United will start to wonder...
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Leeds United en el 41'
  • 41'
    LEEDS GOAL! Cooper pulls one back before the whistle. I don't know if it will be enough but they haven't give up yet. Great header from a corner.
  • 39'
    Bizarre as the flag goes up for Martial's offside but the ref allows play to continue regardless.
  • 38'
    And that could be goodnight for Leeds! If they can't pull one back before the whistle I'd be tempted to say that's definitely goodnight!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 37'
  • 37'
    GOAL UNITED! Lindelof scores as Leeds once again concede a set-piece, this time a corner.
  • 36'
    As always, Leeds are putting on a great show. Every player constantly running, whether it be forwards or backwards. They might have given themselves too much of a hill to climb.
  • 33'
    Raphinha shoots from the corner! What a stop from de Gea.
  • 33'
    Leeds corner with lots of white shirts in the box.
  • 32'
    Alioski shoots from a deflection inside the area but can't repeat his Newcastle magic here. Out for a throw-in for United.
  • 29'
    United corner won by Martial is cleared by Leeds but the danger remains in the final third.
  • 28'
    Leeds pile on the pressure desperate to get one back. The chances are there and it's not at all over yet for Leeds!
  • 26'
    Dallas steals the ball from Fred in the area but can't cross it past Lindelof who clears the danger.
  • 24'
    Bamford wins the header in front of goal but puts it well over.
  • 23'
    Raphinha brought down outside the area but nothing has been given. Fred was late and Maguire pulled his shirt.
  • 21'
    Leeds defensive woes continue. They simply have no answer for United's forwards.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 20'
  • 20'
    GOAL UNITED! United make it 3 as Bruno Fernandez smashes in a deflection inside the area.
  • 18'
    Bamford scores but was well offside. Poor positioning from the striker who isn't having his best game so far.
  • 16'
    Leeds get points for their entertaining style but the individual quality of many of their players still seems very Championship.
  • 14'
    Alioski comes in hard on Rashford. No card given.
  • 13'
    Great energy from both teams. Night and day from the City - Utd game. Manchester United look confident taking the attack to Leeds.
  • 11'
    Leeds get possession via throw-in after a long ball is cleared by Lindelof.
  • 9'
    Rashford weaves through Leeds' defence but the shot is blocked by a white shirt in the nick of time.
  • 7'
    Just a minute later Bamford slices it wide! That is the difference in the quality of the two teams' players here. Great chance wasted for Leeds again.
  • 6'
    Bamford wasn't expecting the ball to loop into him from the edge of the area and doesn't put any power behind the header. Bit of a waste.
  • 5'
    Leeds almost grab one back as Raphinha comes in for the tap in from a cross but couldn't get to it in time.
  • 4'
    Decent pair of goals for United but the Leeds defence has a lot to answer for!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 3'
  • 3'
    UNITED SCORE AGAIN! Unbelievable start for United. Tominay has done it twice in 3 minutes! Madness at Old trafford.
  • 1'
    Frantic start from both sides. Utd got the better of Leeds on the quick counter. Great strike.
  • 1'
    GOAL UNITED! Cracking strike from Tominay from the edge of the area. United off to a great start.
  • 1'
    And we are off! Can Bielsa work some magic or will Solskjaer be able to fix his home form?

    Players are on the pitch!
  • PRVW
    A win for Leeds would give them some much needed confidence about their place in the Premier League. A win for United would lift them into the top 4. Not to mention the pride at stake in this massive fixture.
  • PRVW
    It is a hard one to predict. Leeds all-out attacking style could catch United on the backfoot if they make a slow start. On the other hand, United have the speed to carry out deadly counterattacks on a Leeds that likes to concede...
  • PRVW
    United making quite a few changes from their last outing whereas Leeds will start with the same XI. A sign of Solskjaer's cautiousness against Leeds perhaps?
  • PRVW
    Leeds won a shock win here at Old Trafford ten years ago in the FA cup, can they do it again?
  • PRVW
    Meslier; Dallas, Ayling, Cooper, Alioski; Phillips; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Klich, Harrison; Bamford.
