We're delighted to welcome back our schemer in chief Pablo Hernandez who has been missing due to injury for the past three weeks.
Here's the Leeds team news for today's clash: Casilla, Ayling, Berardi, White, Alioski, Phillips, Dallas, Klich, Harrison, Hernandez, Bamford. Subs: Miazek, Cooper, Roberts, Nketiah, Gotts, Davies, Clarke.
Good morning, Bob. Got some coffee brewing and ready for a full day of matches. Glad you ended a busy week. Hope you had a better one than Ralphie.
Teams in the tunnel now - come on!
I see Eddie but no Pablo on the walkout so there is a possibility that there was a late change to the starting line-up.
Morning, MUR - thanks for joining me for the early morning stuff.
They're off from the etihad
Lots of empty seats for this vital Championship Yorkshire Derby. And yet UWS calls them a big club? Don't think so.
My pleasure . Glad to enjoy the pleasure of your company
MOT!
They're off from Hillsborough County, FLA
COME ON LEEDS! DO WHAT THE FOXES DID TO THE SAINTS YESTERDAY
OH! Not a big club clean through and Kiko rushed out to clear and it bounced off an opposing player, but he got away with it
In the early going, it looks as if the play is being affected by very breezy conditions.
Nice sliding tackle by Ali on Adam Reach then Kiko easily catches a cross
Sterling goes on a run and wins a corner . Fernandinho heads wide from the corner
KDB down for Citeh . Doesn't look good.
I'd love a 0-9 return today. What a result for the Foxes!
Wouldn't be surprised , mate. The weather was horrible last night at St. Mary's. Not sure which was worse. The weather or the Saints performance
Ah - a promising attack through Klich breaks down due to Harrison being ruled offside. I thought he was level there.
Bielsa looks like he's missing the pampas.
It's an all time record away in the English top flight and the worst ever Saints loss. If you watched you witnessed history in the making
All the noise coming from the Leeds traveling support.
I'm sure Yorkshire is different than anywhere he has lived
Well done Leeds supporters. I'm noticing that too
Excellent challenge there from Ben White as Not a Big Club were trying to catch us out on the break.
Superb last ditch slide tackle by Ben White on Adam reach
Very competitive but a disjointed match so far.
KDB is up and in action. Sterling has been a threat to the Villa defense, who actually seem well organized
As expected in this hotly contested rivalry that's also a promotion six pointer
How's this for a stat? The announcer stated that the Foxes have scored more goals this season at St. Mary's than the Saints. Your thoughts?
Too much intricate stuff on the edge of the box and Not a Big Club clear.
McGinn with a deflected effort that goes inches over for a Villa corner
Oh - great save by Kiko from Palmer.
Kiko does well to turn around a long range effort from Liam Palmer. Then it's cleared for a corner
Oh - Harrison with a shot blocked after Leeds break from the corner.
Leeds counter off the corner
I believe that Liam Palmer is our old boy Carlton Palmer's son.
Sterling with a shot blocked for a Citeh corner
If he is which he probably is then why is he a Scottish international?
Looks like Villa is playing with a back ten!
First corner chance now for us.
Oh - good cross in but no one following in at the near post.
Just a reminder that Liam Palmer played for Scotland against San Marino . Did he qualify through his mother?
Oh - Ben White went down under a challenge. Ref not bothered.
We're starting to control things now.
Thought it was a fair challenge by the Kosovo international
Kal Phillips wins a free kick in a dangerous area now. Wish Pablo were playing.
Nice save by ederson from McGinn then Douglas Luiz wants a penalty, claiming he was tripped on the rebound. VAR reviewing
Alioski has had to come off to tape up his socks.
Not the best effort from Kal - just a sighter.
Nothing doing. Villa take a short corner and a complete waste as the offside flag is raised
David Silva wins a Citeh corner
Now it's Alioski with a pop from distance - well over the top.
Tom Heaton tips over a header from, John Stones off the corner
Just a reminder that if Villa win at the Etihad then the Foxes would be in 2nd. Klopp and his predecessor would be the top two
It must be stormy all over blighty. Wonder of some sort of bad weather system is passing through
Patrick and Helder are starting to combine really well. That's why the boss is persisting with Patrick, I think. His hold up play is excellent.
Garry Monk to get rid of players on high salaries.Why they must think they're a Big Club
Hey Boys, sorry I had a little bit more sleep
I tried to to get the match on Plus but too many devices are on it!
Marvelous Makamba down for Villa. He's back up and hopefully feeling marvelous!
Good morning, UWS. Sorry you can't get on Plus. I thought Bob and I were the only ones on.
Klich nearly in there - didn't take the ball with him.
Just ti let you all know that I wasn't planning to watch the match yesterday because I thought there wouldn't be many goals. Glad I did watch
Morning, UWS - how are you mate? Welcome!
Aguero not looking pleased to be on the bench on such a dreary day
It's all a bit choppy right now.
The boss has taken to pacing in circles now - he doesn't look happy.
Villa want a pen for handball. Of course, it isn't given!
VAR checking for a possible Villa penalty for hand ball . No it's a Villa corner. Citeh counter, but stopped by a great tackle on Sterling
Jack Grealish booked for Villa and Dean Smith protesting to the fourth official
As a math teacher, UWS will be interested to note that the Foxes have scored more goals at St. Mary's this season than the Saints. How's that for a stat?
Klich was lucky to get away without a yellow card for that petulant kick of the ball.
Oh - why didn't Patrick hit that one!
That was a naughty Leeds Klich
Nice slide tackle by Jack Grealish for a Citeh corner
Patrick picks up a cheap free kick now about 40 yards out. Chance for Kal to chip one in.
I think s draw would be enough to move Citeh back to second. They would be level on points with the Foxes , but slightly ahead on goal difference. Is that correct
That was naughty by the Kosovo international. Kind of cynical. Eddie may come on for Patrick
Rubbish free kick there. Probably should have played it short.
Bamford is okay and is booed for that. Poor behavior from the locals, but what do you expect?
Definitely a horrible free kick
Nice feed from Ben White there but Alioski wastes the chance with an errant cross into Westwood's hands.
Klich was booked for that bit pf petulance a few minutes ago
Come on, boys - one in before half time, please.
A question for Bob . Why did Macedonia become North Macedonia? There's only one Macedonia
Just wide by David Silva off a ruin and pass from Sterling
Another free kick chance now - let's hope this one is a better delivery.
nasty tackle by Pelepuessey on Helder and a deserved booking
Oh - better one there and the ball nearly fell to Klich.
He was heldered off!
A minute of stoppage time at the Etihad
The same at Hillsborough County, FLA
Oh - another great save by Kiko from Fletcher. Not a Big Club's best effort of the half.
It's 0-0 at the half at the Etihad. Pep sprints to the tunnel, looking none too pleased.
That was a nice save
Into that minute of stoppage time
Oh - Patrick so close to opening the scoring. Great save by Westwood!
Oh - the ball scrambled away from the corner. And that's half time. 0-0
OH!!! Westwood superbly turns a round a header from Bamford. Thought it was a Leeds lead.
It's 0-0 at the half.
Still bummed I can't watch the match!
The second half is underway from the Etihad
Off again at the Etihad
And Sterling scores...bloody hell
GOAL !! STERLING GIVES CITEH THE LEAD 23 SECONDS INTO THE SECOND HALF
I don't think I am going to be here much of the day
Stuff to do out and about...games are pretty naff
I might be here for some of Soccer Saturday
It was an unusual Citeh goal, going route one. Long clearance from Ederson off a back pass was headed on and Sterling nut megged the on rushing Tom Heaton
If you want I can log out to give you a chance to watch the second half . I don't mind at all
Eddie is on for Patrick as the second half is about to kick off, which it does from Hillsborough
Just let me know.
That goal puts Citeh back in 2nd place.
I'm back with a second cuppa and a ham and egg sandwich for the second half now.
Set piece opportunity for Not a Big Club
Free kick into the wall from Barry Bloody Bannon. The the return cross eludes Iorfa
Citeh with a free kick
Where's my egg sandwich....I gave you something last week!
Not a Big Club with a bright start to the half. Knock it off!
Bob, you have much better brekkies than me, mate
We're telling Citeh to knock it off as well.
Oh - a nice curler there by Kal Phillips, just wide of the post.
Ben Mendy has a shot blocked by Engels for a Citeh corner. Kal Phillips with a long range effort not too far wide
Sterling wins a Citeh corner
I don't get why I am blocked from Plus!
The replay shows that Tyrone Mings poorly misjudged the long clearance from Ederson for the goal
WHAT THE HELL ARE VILLA DOING!
Passing around at the back
Great goal line save
OH! Off the line from Mings could have been 2-0
Oh - what a let off for us! Fletcher's strike goes off the bar and then hits Kiko on the back and goes out for a corner. Lucky.
PHEW! Still 0-0. Nice through ball from Morgan Fox to Fletcher. His shot came off the bar and off the back of Kiko for a corner
Fernadinho booked for foul on Jack Grealish
Citeh counter off the Villa free kick
Helder wins us a corner early in the half.
Kadeem Harris tackles Helder Costa for a Leeds corner
I just twigged it...I can try on my Apple TV....and it works
Still going from last Friday's game we watched Bob
I'm on....forget the City game!
Poor corner cleared by the first man
Ali wins a cheap free kick there. Possibilities to bring the big boys up?
Glad you were able to get it to work. Perhaps it can inspire a Leeds lead.
Patrick looking pretty morose in the stands now. Shame that that header didn't just float past Westwood.
Douglas Luiz heads straight to compatriot, Ederson
Well done, mate. What time is it?
Eddie caught a Not a Big Club man there with an elbow. Could have been worse.
Pelepusessey down. Looked like unintentional elbows from Eddie. Monk wants a red card
Lovely - Harris with a big hoof well over the top.
Bob will not be pleased that his old mate, Monk, did not take a vow of silence as Monk's are required to do
Sterling wins yet another Citeh corner
Not at all pleased with anything that Gary Monk does.
Now it's Adam Reach trying to catch Kiko out from distance. Well wide.
GOAL !!!KDB PUTS CITEH TWO UP WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN INTENDED CROSS OF THE SHORT CORNER. IT ELUDED EVERYONE
Bugger... two nil!
I'm watching it on computer.... announced on my phone before I saw it it
VAR checking
VAR TO CHECK. It should be disallowed as the intended targets were offside and impeded Tom Heaton
Forshaw and Pablo in puffy jackets in the stands. A sad sight.
VAR checking
Oh - another nearly thing there for Not a Big Club. Phew!
Berardi concedes a corner now.
Two nil
It's a goal. WHY? What 's the point of VAR? Two offside Citeh players were obviously involved with the play?Horrible decision
Whistles gone from the corner.
A horrible decision. Why have VAR?
I agree, MUR. I didn't see the incident. I just don't like City.
I HATE VAR!
Players called offside for being 1/2 mm off
Citeh with another corner
I don't like City AND saw the incident
More and more, this one feels like it's going to be settled by one goal. Hope it's one for the boys in grey today.
GOAL !!!! CITHE GO THREE UP OFF THE CORNER
Eddie started?
And then there's three
Barry Bloody Bannan pulls the trigger but is well blocked.
Off the short corner, Fernandinho's pass bounced off of Weekend at Bernie's and Gundogan smashed home from close range
No, Eddie came on for Patrick at the half
Nothing wrong with the third Citeh goal. Two scrappy goals and one offside goal.
Look - you can see trees in the background! Big club, my foot!
Ok... now concentrating on the Championship
It's LEEDS TIME!!!
Angelino on for Ben Mendy as Pep has the two tough matches vs the Saints in mind
I don't need three goals and a rout; I just need one winning goal for the Leeds boys. Come on!
Cheers, mate - we need it.
Jack Grealish wins a Villa corner
Twenty minutes left - what we wouldn't do for a bit of Pablo magic now.
COME ON LEEDS ! SCORE ! MOT!
Phil Foden on for KDB
The the final roll of the dice from Pep as Aguero is on for Sterling
Oh - great shooting effort from Eddie - beaten away by Westwood.
Eddie has a shot.... and my link goes whacko!
Error loading... I can't catch a break!
Westwood beats away a shot from Eddie
Looks like Liam Cooper is coming on for Helder Costa. Is that an indication that Bielsa is worried about a loss?
Just saw the Chelsea United League Cup match on Plus... Every game will be an hour later from tonight so I will be home to be able to watch it all... if I dare!
Got the link back
Barry Bannon a ball hog and coughs it up. Sound familiar?
Mini Cooper on for Helder Costa. Bielsea looking to escape with a draw?
Looks like Dallas has been pushed up to play where Helder was playing on the wing now.
Gundogan booked for a nasty foul on Trezeguet to stop a Villa break
Definitely a reshuffle from Bielsa, which was needed.
Damn it.....saved off the line!
Oh - cleared off the line by Not a Big Club! Harrison should've hit it first time!
Now off the post!!!
Oh - and now off the post from Ali!
Phil Foden forces a decent save by Tom Heaton.
OH!!! Off the line by Morgan Fox from Jack Harrison the off the post by Ali
Inside the last ten minutes to win this one now. Come on, boys!
