Daniel Farke has named the same starting XI:
Meslier (GK), Ampadu, Cooper (C), Piroe, Kamara, Summerville, Shackleton, James, Struijk, Rutter, Byram.
Substitutes: Darlow (GK), Ayling, Bamford, Anthony, Rodon, Gray, Poveda, Gelhardt, Gruev.
Patrick Bamford is on the bench today. Not sure he'll get any time; he's a bit of a forgotten man now, after years of being the main hope.
All set to go in what promises to be a fascinating encounter. Leeds wearing their all blue away kit today.
Suleimana is their main danger man down the left.
Oh dear - the Saints have sliced us apart early on, Alan Armstrong running through onto a lovely ball from Walker-Peters. Nice little dink finish.
Whites are 1-0 down.
Suleimana wins a corner off Shack.
And another off Sam Byram.
Bloody hell = Meslier dropped it straight at the feet of Bednarek. Hacked away to safety.
We haven't really got going yet, with Soton playing the high press on us rather effectively.
Armstrong picks up a yellow for a hack on Cry Summerville.
Dear me - that's a really poor free kick that goes straight out for a throw.
Oh - great effort from Rutter, pulls an acrobatic save out of the keeper.
Another yellow card now for Smallbone again tugging back Summerville.
Better from us now, putting a bit more pressure on the Saints back four.
Now we've got a free kick out wide left. Come on!
Another poor delivery hoofed to Ampuadu at the back post.
Oh - nearly took advantage of a defensive break down there. Piroe's shot was blocked and then Byram had a wild slash at it.
Half way through this first half, we're definitely still in this one. I'm off for a bit of a snuggle with the missus before the twins wake up.
Lord Bamford warming up now.
Well, we've had out pants well and truly pulled down in that first half. That should calm down the more excitable Leeds fans who were imagining an easy romp to the title.
Okay, then - Pascal with a lovely goal on the turn to pull one back. Game on?
Ironically, that's Pascal's third goal of the season so far. He's only one behind Piroe.
Oh - Rutter played in Piroe but the Dutchman's touch let him down.
Certainly not what we wanted to see coming off the bench. Che Adams.
About time - Archie Gray and Jadon Anthony on now for the last 15 minutes.
Oh - Piroe should have done better with that chance. Bring on Lord Bamford!
Bamford has replaced Dan James.
Full-time: Well, it wasn't our day. We've gone down to a 3-1 loss. It leaves us in 10th on 13 points from nine matches. We need 37 points from the remaining 37 matches to secure safety in the division.
