Afternoon, chaps - I'll be manning the LOB stations this afternoon. Feel free to drop on by.
Leeds make one change to the XI named for the defeat at Brighton on Saturday. Luis Sinisterra makes his first Premier League start at the expense of Dan James, who drops to the bench. Patrick Bamford returns from injury and is back on the subs bench.
The full team news out of Elland Road:
Leeds United: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Llorente, Struijk, Adams, Roca, Sinisterra, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo.
Subs: Forshaw, Bamford, Summerville, Klaesson, James, Gelhardt, Drameh, Greenwood, Klich.
Everton: Pickford, Patterson, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Onana, Iwobi, Davies, Gordon, McNeil, Gray.
Subs: Keane, Allan, Begovic, Andre Gomes, Coleman, Ruben Vinagre, Rondon, Mills, Welch.
Referee: Simon Hooper (Wiltshire).
Teams in the tunnel now - come on, you Whites!
This will be the first league start for our new Colombian international Luis Sinesterra who is taking the place of Dan James in the side.
Everton wearing their pink away number today.
We're away at Elland Road.
Both sides teasing each other out so far.
Aaronson wins the first corner of the match for us. Come on!
Everton starting to park the bus now.
Oh - the ball broke to Struijk out wide but his ball in was too close to Pickers.
Checking in with the other matches, Raheem Sterling has scored his third goal for Chelsea. They lead at St. Mary's.
And now the Saints have equalized through Lavia.
Bugger! Anthony Gordon broke through and scored. Poor from Llorente.
0-1.
Wolves scored early in the home opener, so I'm hoping that we can turn this one around in similar fashion.
Tom Davies gets a yellow for trying to kick the ball out of Meslier's hands.
Nice interplay there but Roca's final ball was straight to Pickers.
Oh - Rodrigo should have finished off that cross from Jack.
Aaronson finds Rodrigo now but the header is well off target.
Everton already time wasting now.
Nice ball through from Sinesterra and Rodrigo nearly rounded Pickers. The Everton keeper did well to shove him off.
Rodrigo has been taken off after that seemingly innocuous challenge and Joffy has replaced him. This is not going well so far.
Gordon was on his bike again and Koch took him down. Free kick Toffees. Mark 'em up!
Need a goal back before halftime.
Now Tyler Adams has been booked for something.
Now Coady has pulled back Aaronson and should have gotten a card.
Now Jack has won us a corner. One in off the bum, please!
The ball comes out to Koch who launches one well over the bar.
Only four minutes of stoppage time. That's a crime given the time wasting that Everton have been doing.
Time for one more big chance now. Come on!
Rasmus wins us a late corner in the half. Come on!
Short corner routine comes to nothing. A very frustrating first half comes to an end. Jesse will have to sort things out in the dressing room. I want a response.
We're back on for the second half - I want an immediate response.
Oh - Jack found Aaronson who forced a great save out of Pickers. Corner.
Better from us - Everton under a lot of pressure. Another corner.
The corner deliveries have to get better.
Oh - great ball through from Sinesterra and Jack's shot was fairly tame. Should have buried that one.
Oh - Aaronson got free there but couldn't find Joffy in the middle.
Everton clearly just playing the clock.
Yes! Luis Sinesterra equalizes with his first goal at Elland Road - and at the Kop End!! 1-1!
Now let's go on and win it!
Llorente picks up a yellow for a cynical one.
Now then - something nasty between Rasmus and Anthony Gordon. Didn't see what happened but it's gotten a bit tetchy out there.
Short corner led to a nice chipped cross that Koch met at the backpost.
Klich replaces the goalscorer Sinesterra.
Suddenly the match has opened up.
And Gray slots home but the flag is raised. Phew!
Patterson gets a yellow now for a hack on Jack.
Still plenty of time left in this one.
Oh - Joffy had a real chance there but screwed it wide.
Gordon knocks over Joffy and could easily have have got a yellow.
Twenty minutes left now. Come on!
Llorente concedes a corner. Mark 'em up!
Jack wins another corner.
Too many poor corners from us.
Two more subs now - Lord Bamford on for Joffy and James on for Aaronson.
This one is still winnable for us - come on!
Poor clearance from Meslier leads to an Everton corner. Mark 'em up!
Oh - off the line from Kristensen!
Into the last ten minutes now - we need a win here!
Full-time: A disappointing draw in a winnable match tonight. But thanks to that goal by Luis Sinesterra, it's a valuable point in the Premier League. Now 8 points from 5 matches. We're still in 5th and now have 32 points to get.
