Follow all the action from Elland Road
Follow live coverage as Leeds face Southampton in the Premier League today.
New Leeds boss Javi Gracia made just one change for his first game in charge against Southampton at Elland Road.
Brenden Aaronson was recalled to the starting line-up in place of Crysencio Summerville, while their record signing Georginio Rutter was named on the bench again.
Southampton boss Ruben Selles, taking charge of his second game for the Saints and his first since being made permanent manager, named an unchanged starting line-up after last week’s 1-0 win at Chelsea.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Leeds United vs Southampton
Southampton are doubling up on Gnonto every time he gets the ball. It's been a successful strategy so far which is keeping the young Italian quiet.
Leeds United vs Southampton
Bamford uses all his strength to hold the ball up and keep Bella-Kotchap at bay. The striker manages to get a shot away but it goes straight at Bazunu.
Leeds United vs Southampton
Leeds want a penalty after Bamford goes down in the box but the referee isn't convinced. VAR takes a look but play continues.
Leeds United vs Southampton
It's been a game of few chances so one goal could easily be enough to take all three points today. Leeds have £35m January signing Rutter on the bench and Gracia may bring the Frenchman on if it remains goalless. Onuachu and Sulemana have looked isolated in attack for Southampton so Selles will be hoping his midfield can offer more support in the second half.
Leeds United vs Southampton
That was a cagey performance from both sides and with so much riding on the result it's easy to understand why. Leeds were criticised for setting themselves up too narrowly under Marsch but they've looked to utilise both wings a lot more today. However, Southampton have soaked the pressure up well and never looked in danger of conceding. Going forward, the Saints are not offering much so they will need to be more positive if they want to win this game.
