He’s going to cite that little vindication to his friends any time they disagree on some football-related point.” I can assure you he will … Well played, Dave from Devon. 4.01pm GMT Full time: Leeds 1-2 Aston Villa Aston Villa go into the Champions League places with their sixth win in seven games. Morgan Rogers’ second-half double, the winner a superb free-kick, completes a comeback victory for Unai Emery’s side. Leeds led through Lukas Nmecha after a strong first-half display but could not deal with the quality of Villa, and especially Rogers, after the break. Updated at 4.02pm GMT 3.59pm GMT 90+6 min: Barkley tries to hold the ball up high in the Leeds half but loses it. Gnonto brings it forward, finds James, whose cross is cleared by Torres. Rogers wins a foul and has perhaps won the game. 3.59pm GMT 90+5 min: Longstaff’s cross is cleared out to Gnonto, who lays the ball back for James but his shot is blocked. 3.58pm GMT 90+4 min: Leeds make camp on the edge of the Villa box. Cash trips Gnonto and concedes a free-kick for Longstaff to cross … 3.56pm GMT 90+3 min: Gnonto tries to pick out James at the back post but Martínez plucks the ball out the sky and dumps himself on the floor to waste a few seconds. 3.55pm GMT 90+2 min: Malen finds some space and picks out Sancho on the left. Leeds double up on the winger and force him back. Sancho is then flagged for offside and Leeds can come again. 3.54pm GMT 90 min: Six minutes added. Villa try to get forward but Leeds win it back. Longstaff is sent tumbling by Barkley and Leeds attack again. James’s shot is wayward and the danger passes. 3.52pm GMT 88 min: Martínez saves from Struijk! Longstaff’s delivery is so inviting and Struijk heads it down, where Martínez dives to his right to beat it away for a corner. 3.51pm GMT 87 min: Leeds are committing plenty of men forward now. James nips in ahead of Bogarde and wins a free-kick around 30 yards from goal on the right. Longstaff will deliver … Updated at 3.52pm GMT 3.49pm GMT 86 min: Bogle sends a cross into the box but Calvert-Lewin’s header is misguided and flies over. 3.47pm GMT 84 min: Malen should seal it! He runs at Striujk, leaves the defender on the floor but blazes high and wide with the goal at his mercy. Tielemans is replaced by Bogarde for Villa. 3.46pm GMT 83 min: The corner is taken short and wasted. Bogle’s cross is then headed clear by Konsa just as it looked like it might reach Piroe. All hands on deck for Villa. 3.46pm GMT 82 min: Leeds put some pressure on the Villa backline. James wins a corner … 3.44pm GMT 80 min: Gnonto and Piroe come off the bench for Leeds, who are far from out of this. Okafor and Aaronson go off. 3.43pm GMT Leeds goal disallowed! Right call. Calvert-Lewin’s hand is what turns James’s pass into the back of the net. It’s very close to his body but those are the rules. Updated at 3.45pm GMT 3.42pm GMT 77 min: Leeds have an immediate response! Rodon finds James racing down the right and his cut-back is cushioned in by Calvert-Lewin! It looks like handball from the Leeds man, though … VAR are examining it. Updated at 3.47pm GMT 3.39pm GMT GOAL! Leeds 1-2 Aston Villa (Rogers 75) Brilliant! The free-kick looked too close to get it up and down in time but that’s exactly what Morgan Rogers does! He stabs the ball over the wall and it drops into the net, leaving Perri rooted. Rogers celebrates scoring. Photograph: Allstar Picture Library Ltd/Richard Sellers/Apl/Sportsphoto Updated at 3.43pm GMT 3.38pm GMT 74 min: Ampadu launches a long throw into the box but it’s cleared. Rogers then leaves Ampadu, appealing for a foul, on the deck and Villa counter. Barkley is scythed down by Struijk just on the edge of the Leeds area after beating him to the ball. The defender goes into the book. Rogers will take the free-kick … Updated at 3.38pm GMT 3.35pm GMT 72 min: Tanaka is a bit miffed at being taken off, having come off the bench himself in the first half. He was booked and diving into plenty of challenges. 3.34pm GMT 71 min: Farke makes changes too. Nmecha and Tanaka are replaced by Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dan James. 3.33pm GMT 70 min: Tielemans pelts a shot into a body of Leeds players after Sancho and Maatsen made headway down the Villa left. Malen then spins and sends a bobbling shot just wide. 3.32pm GMT 68 min: McGinn goes close! Cutting in on his left foot, he curls a shot but it doesn’t bend quite enough to creep into the far top corner. That’s McGinn’s last involvement as Barkley and Sancho come on. Watkins is also off. 3.30pm GMT 67 min: Okafor sends a ball in behind intended for Nmecha, who is offside. Aaronson scampers after it, gets into the box but then the flag goes up for him as well. Elland Road does not like this. 3.28pm GMT 65 min: Torres gets a tad fortunate after overrunning the ball and bumping into Nmecha. Tanaka is eventually penalised for a foul instead. 3.27pm GMT 63 min: Tielemans makes a break for it but Ampadu puts a stop to that with a challenge that earns him a booking. Rogers takes issue with the Welshman for the nature of the tackle. It was a bit cynical. 3.26pm GMT 62 min: Watkins, Rogers and Malen are enjoying themselves and look to have a proper understanding between the three of them. Watkins is also occasionally filling in for Rogers on the left when Leeds have the ball. 3.24pm GMT 60 min: Villa have got a real foothold in this game, finally, after a meek first-half showing. Leeds are still creating chances but look a lot more vulnerable at the back. 3.21pm GMT 58 min: McGinn pings a cross into the box which Ampadu skews out for a corner. McGinn’s dlivery is headed goalwards by a Leeds head but Perri clutches it from under his crossbar. 3.19pm GMT 56 min: Watkins goes close! The referee waves play on after Tanaka clips McGinn in midfield. The Scot finds Watkins, who reaches the penalty area and tries to find the far corner but Perri gets down well to save. Leeds almost make a hash of clearing it as Malen closes down the loose ball but danger is averted for the moment. Villa win a corner which McGinn will take … 3.17pm GMT 54 min: The free-kick is fed into a dangerous area but Rogers gets his head to it and Villa clear. 3.17pm GMT 53 min: McGinn is penalised again for tripping Gudmundsson on the edge of the box and gets the yellow card that the home crowd have been calling for. Longstaff shapes up to cross … 3.15pm GMT 52 min: McGinn bumps into Gudmundsson, gives away a foul and stifles a disbelieving smile. 3.14pm GMT 50 min: End-to-end stuff at the start of the second half! Watkins heads down the Villa left and feeds the ball into the box. It falls to Kamara but his shot on the edge of the area is blocked. Aaronson then drives at the Villa defence before Konsa wins the ball with a well-timed challenge. Longstaff skews one high and wide from distance. 3.12pm GMT GOAL! Leeds 1-1 Aston Villa (Rogers 48) Villa level it! McGinn sends Cash down the right. He finds Malen, who heads to the byline and whips the ball across the six-yard box. Rogers gets the slightest of flicks on it and it flies inside the far post. Updated at 3.19pm GMT 3.10pm GMT 46 min: Rogers has come out to the left for Villa, with Malen playing more centrally with Watkins. McGinn tries to find Watkins with a cross but the striker misjudges it and it runs out of play. 3.08pm GMT Second half begins Villa have made two changes at the break, with Ian Maatsen and Donyell Malen on for Digne and Buendía. 3.00pm GMT “Predicting Leeds will tire in 2nd half and stop pressing so well,” says Villa fan Dave Slater. “We will need to be patient and play it more into Rogers’s feet. He’s the key” Leeds might have to make the most of their sponsorship deal with Red Bull at the break … Updated at 3.04pm GMT 2.58pm GMT Half-time reading comes from John Ashdown at Hillsborough as Sheffield United edged Wednesday in the Steel City derby: Related: Sheffield United sink Wednesday thanks to Tyrese Campbell’s derby double 2.56pm GMT Justin Kavanagh emails in: “It’s Sunday. It’s raining. The tackles are flying in. And, it’s possible McGinn might have a hangover from the Scottish celebrations. This game has got a good Sunday league feel to it.” I’m not complaining, that’s for sure. 2.54pm GMT Half-time: Leeds 1-0 Aston Villa Plenty of rough and tumble in the first 45 minutes and an aggressive Leeds go in at the break with a narrow lead. The goal itself, touched in by Lukas Nmecha after Emi Martínez had lost out in an aerial challenge with Anton Stach, was a microcosm of the half as a whole as Villa struggled to cope with Leeds’ physical approach. Daniel Farke will be very pleased indeed. 2.51pm GMT 45+6 min: Tanaka goes down rather easily on halfway and the referee buys it. Tielemans is not happy. Leeds have one more chance to lift the ball into the box but Martínez claims it. 2.49pm GMT 45+4 min: Gudmundsson stretches to head a cross behind for a Villa corner. Digne heads over to take an inswinger and Tanaka pumps it clear. 2.48pm GMT 45+3 min: Tanaka flies in again on Kamara and is booked for his troubles this time. 2.47pm GMT 45+2 min: So close from Watkins! Kamara sets the ball back for the Villa striker on the edge of the box and his first-time effort curls just the wrong side of the post. Leeds, I suspect, could do with half-time. They’ve put plenty into this first 45. 2.46pm GMT 45 min: Six minutes of added time. 2.45pm GMT 44 min: Cash snatches at a shot after McGinn and Kamara combine on the edge of the box. Cash’s shot goes wide of the near post. 2.43pm GMT 42 min: The referee goes into his pocket to produce a yellow card for Bogle after he bumps Buendía off the ball in midfield. A bit of a harsh booking in isolation. The free-kick comes to nothing and Unai Emery scratches his chin down on the touchline. 2.40pm GMT 40 min: Okafor stepped on Cash’s hand as they slid towards the byline. Ouch. Longstaff’s corner is headed out by Torres but only to Aaronson, whose low strike is saved well by Martínez down to his left and then gathered. 2.39pm GMT 38 min: Perri shanks a left-footed clearance straight up in the air, like the goalkeepers of old. Leeds get to the loose ball first, as they often have in this first half. Villa’s Cash slides in on Okafor to concede a corner. 2.37pm GMT 36 min: Okafor is next to go down the Leeds left and he floats a cross towards the back post. Nmecha is there but is sandwiched between Torres and Digne and can’t get on the end of it. 2.35pm GMT 34 min: Gudmundsson charges down the Leeds left at some speed and glides into the area. Torres manages to cut out his cross before it reaches Nmecha. The Leeds left-back thinks he’s won it back but is pulled up for a foul. 2.33pm GMT 32 min: Rogers shows a flash of quality as he turns away from Ampadu and sets off towards goal. Tanaka then slides in on Watkins and gets the ball (fairly) cleanly. 2.31pm GMT 30 min: It’s getting a bit scrappy. Plenty of force in the challenges from both teams and the rain is making things a bit more slapdash. 2.29pm GMT “Referee Rob Jones is jacked!” emails in Joe Pearson. “Reminds me of the legendary NFL referee Ed Hochuli. Your American readers will get the reference.” Well, I’m glad someone will. 2.28pm GMT 27 min: Cash’s cross flies into the six-yard box and Rodon gets his head to the ball just as it looked like Watkins was going to convert. Great defending again from the Welshman. 2.27pm GMT 26 min: Okafor leads a Leeds counter down the left but he comes inside and is crowded out when trying to find Tanaka. The rain is really coming down. 2.24pm GMT 24 min: Bogle clips a ball in behind the Villa defence and Nmecha gets to the byline to cross but Aaronson can’t force it in at the near post. Villa are really under the cosh. 2.24pm GMT 22 min: Stach’s afternoon is over. He landed on his neck when challenging for the ball with Martínez for the goal and the after-effects from that have made him a little groggy. Tanaka comes on in his place as a concussion substitute. Updated at 2.25pm GMT 2.21pm GMT 20 min: McGinn tries to send Watkins through the middle but Rodon steps across and times his tackle to perfection on the edge of the area. Really good covering from the Leeds defender. 2.19pm GMT 18 min: Bogle crunches in on a couple of Villa players down the right and McGinn is then penalised for a foul in midfield. Longstaff hoists the free-kick into the box from deep but Martínez gathers Rodon’s header across goal. 2.17pm GMT 16 min: Longstaff is pulled up for a sliding challenge on Digne. He gets man and ball – and a talking-to from the referee. A couple more challenges go in. Pretty aggressive stuff from Leeds, in a good way. 2.14pm GMT 14 min: Buendía sets his sights but loops the free-kick over the ball and well over the bar. No power nor accuracy. 2.13pm GMT 12 min: Villa get a free-kick on the edge of the Leeds box when Longstaff blocks Tielemans’ shot with his arm. This is in shooting range, for sure. 2.12pm GMT The goal is given! Stach, such a presence in the air, simply got to the ball before Martínez and was not adjudged to have fouled the goalkeeper. Nmecha was on the line to bundle it in after Konsa tried to clear away. Leeds lead! Updated at 2.13pm GMT 2.10pm GMT VAR are checking on an offside from the initial free-kick and probably a possible foul from Stach on Martínez. 2.09pm GMT GOAL! Leeds 1-0 Aston Villa (Nmecha 8) The ball’s in the net! Longstaff’s free-kick is sent high up in the air by a stretching Gudmundsson at the back post and Stach jumps up to challenge with Martínez. The ball rebounds off Nmecha and ends up in the net. Will it count? Updated at 2.21pm GMT 2.08pm GMT 7 min: Okafor drives at the Villa defence and Cash gets a foot in. Leeds continue to probe and Rogers brings down Aaronson on the edge of the box. Longstaff will toss it in. 2.07pm GMT 6 min: Leeds are struggling to make it stick to Nmecha, the ball pinging off the striker and out of play. Calvert-Lewin is watching on stone-faced from the bench. 2.05pm GMT 4 min: Bogle goes down after getting a boot from Digne after the Villa left-back clears. He looks OK but it’s a sore one. 2.03pm GMT 2 min: Villa settle into the game straight away. Stach is penalised for a foul on McGinn in midfield. 2.01pm GMT Kick-off Leeds’ Sean Longstaff gets the ball rolling. 1.58pm GMT The teams are out at a damp Elland Road, with very grey skies overhead. Kick-off is next. 1.56pm GMT Jeremy Boyce writes in on the state of the Leeds dugout: I’m sure I speak for many suffering supporters when I say that their biggest mistake was sacking Bielsa. True enough, things were looking bleak at the moment he departed, but frankly I’d rather have him than any number of Jesse Marsches or Big Sams, even Howard Wilkinsons, the last man to bring the title back home, and who then sold the jewel in that crown Cantona to the hated enemy over the Pennines, and we all know what he did for them from that point. Better to go down guns blazing than meekly trying to eke out the necessary points with drab footie and ineffective tactics. Bielsa would have had them back up in no time and spared us some lost seasons trying to scrap our way back up. 0-3 and grim December coming. It’s astonishing to think that Sam Allardyce was managing Leeds in the Premier League just two years ago. 1.50pm GMT Leeds have got some tricky fixtures coming up after today: Manchester City (a), Chelsea (h), Liverpool (h). Daniel Farke could soon come under pretty significant pressure, as Louise Taylor has been writing this week: Although Farke maintains “no one is panicking”, his team have lost four of their past five league games and sit 18th. While 11 points from 11 matches is hardly disastrous for a promoted side, December looks a potentially dangerous month in West Yorkshire with Chelsea and Liverpool visiting Elland Road. Leeds also have to make a tricky trip to Manchester City before November is out. Lose those and Farke knows his position would, perhaps unfairly, come under serious scrutiny. How a toothless Leeds could do with reprising their last win against Villa, a 3-0 triumph at Villa Park in October 2020. It featured a Patrick Bamford hat-trick, but with injuries subsequently disrupting the forward’s career the former Leeds No 9 is now on a short-term deal at Sheffield United and Farke has struggled to find an incisive, elite-level replacement. 1.42pm GMT Ollie Watkins has never scored against Leeds in 12 appearances (including 11 starts) against them for Villa and Brentford across the Premier League and Championship. His involvement at next summer’s World Cup looks in doubt after he was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad. He’s only got one goal in 16 games for Villa this season in all competitions. 1.33pm GMT John McGinn should be full of beans today after his involvement in Scotland’s successful, and quite frankly ridiculous, World Cup qualifying campaign. Amid Scott McTominay’s acrobatics, Kieran Tierney’s accuracy and Kenny McLean’s audacity, McGinn was the driver of Scotland’s hopes in the middle of the park and forced both of Rasmus Kristiansen’s yellow cards against Denmark. He knows his role in Unai Emery’s Villa team down to a tee, coming in off the right wing to support Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins. Emi Buendía does the same off the left. Leeds are going to have their work cut out against those two. Updated at 1.35pm GMT 1.23pm GMT It’s a busy lunchtime in Yorkshire: Sheffield United lead Wednesday in the Steel City derby at Hillsborough. John Brewin has updates: Related: Arsenal v Tottenham buildup, Liverpool lose again, and Sheffield derby updates – matchday live 1.15pm GMT Form guide (last six): Leeds DLLWLL. Aston Villa WWWWLW. Looks ominous for Leeds who, after a decent start, are being dragged into the relegation scrap they were perhaps expected to be part of in the first place. They dropped into the bottom three after yesterday’s results. Villa are one of the form teams in the league. Unai Emery, talking to TV just now, says his team must keep improving having picked up five wins out of their last six. He cites their mentality and structure as key factors in the uptick in results and says he’s “very motivated” and “so, so excited” about what’s to come. Updated at 1.17pm GMT 1.05pm GMT Starting lineups Leeds (4-3-3): Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Longstaff, Ampadu, Stach; Aaronson, Nmecha, Okafor. Subs: Darlow, James, Calvert-Lewin, Piroe, Bijol, Tanaka, Justin,Gnonto, Gruev. Daniel Farke makes one change from the defeat to Nottingham Forest two weeks ago – Pascal Struijk comes in for Jaka Bijol at centre-back. Aston Villa (4-4-1-1): Martínez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; McGinn,Kamara, Tielemans, Buendía; Rogers; Watkins. Subs: Bizot, Lindelöf, Barkley, Malen, Sancho, Maatsen, Bogarde, Guessand, Hemmings. Villa also make just the one change from their last game – a 4-0 home defeat of Bournemouth – with Youri Tielemans in for the injured Amadou Onana in midfield. Updated at 1.17pm GMT 1.00pm GMT Preamble Two of English football’s grandest names face off at Elland Road this afternoon as Leeds host Aston Villa in the Premier League. Daniel Farke and Unai Emery meet in opposing dugouts for the first time in their careers and both will be looking for points they can put towards their diverging goals this season. It’s a Championship meeting between these two teams that lingers most in the recent memory, with that controversial Mateusz Klich goal and Marcelo Bielsa then ordering his players to let Albert Adomah equalise for Villa straight from kick-off. Any drama that comes close to that today will keep us entertained. Kick-off is at 2pm (GMT) and team news is coming right up. You can get in touch by email to offer your thoughts on the game or the season as a whole.
