Subs: Ayling, Firpo, Cooper, Bamford, Anthony, Poveda-Ocampo, Darlow, Gnonto, Gruev.
Referee: Dean Whitestone (Northamptonshire)
Oh - Piroe should have buried that one.
We've had the better of the first quarter of an hour.
Rutter goes down looking for a pen - nothing doing from the ref.
The high press is really working for us tonight.
Byram picks up a yellow for tugging back his man. That could put some pressure on him as the game wears on.
Leicester just getting into the match in the last five minutes. We may rue the missed chances.
Oh - end to end stuff. First Leicester hit the bar. Then we run it back up the pitch and Cry is seemingly knocked over in the box. Nothing from the ref.
The gaffer has picked up a yellow for complaining a bit too much about that lack of a penalty call.
Ampadu fires wide from long range.
Back on for the second half now - still 0-0.
I'd like to see some changes fairly quickly. James has been quiet so Gnonto should replace him in short order. And I'm worried about the Leicester winger Fatawu exposing Sam Byram on a yellow. Maybe Shack can come on for him?
Oh - great move by us and Piroe pulls a great save out of big Westergard.
Now it's Rutter with a shot on target but with no power.
Looks like Ihenacho is preparing to come on, probably for the aging Jamie Vardy.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
We're in the lead, I think with Rutter with a final touch from a great corner by James. Byram got the first header, which was pushed out but slammed in by the Frenchman.
0-1 Whites!
That's Rutter's third goal of the season. We've now got 30 minutes to hang on to this lead.
MOT!
Ethan Ampadu is down needing treatment.
We're dropping deep now, trying to protect this lead. Difficult tactic for us to pull off, but we'll look to break.
Hiya Blue Devil. Just logged off for the day and am available to spend the last 10 minutes plus ridiculous stoppage time. Keep it tight and MOT
WTF? Nearly went in. Good stop from Mellier. Whew.
Blue Devil's beloved Leeds win!!!!
