Follow all the action as Leeds United host Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon. 

Marcelo Biela’s side enjoyed a promising start on their return to the top flight, however, back-to-back defeats prior to the international break served a reminder of the challenges to come. Ten points from eight games is hardly disastrous, though, and in Patrick Bamford Leeds boast one of England’s most prolific strikers on current form.

For all Mikel Arteta’s sweeping changes at Arsenal, they are still a side afflicted by wild swings of inconsistency. Their fabulous victory over Manchester United sent spirits sky-rocketing but a horrendous thrashing by Aston Villa proved why Arsenal remain very much a work in progress. They begin the game in 14th place and need a strong series of results to bolster their top four credentials. Follow all the action below live:

Liverpool 2 - 0 Leicester

78 mins: What a sequence! Jota slots the ball into the box. Firmino taps it past Fofano and shoots. The ball hits the inside of the post and bounces out. Albrighton then clears it off the line but it comes to Mane. He shoots and Schmeichel gets back to grab the ball.

72 mins: Diogo Jota weaves his way into the box and gets off a miscued shot before landing on Fofana’s outstretched leg. Liverpool want a penalty as the shot goes wide but they don’t get one.

66 mins: Mendy is shown a yellow card for a heavy tackle on Wijnaldum. He lands on the Liverpool midfielder’s ankle as he arrived too late for the challenge and rightly goes in the book.

57 mins: Oh my. How have Liverpool not scored? Jones slots the ball into the right side of the box and Jota picks it up. He shifts the ball tohis right foot and goes for goal forcing Schmeichel into a low save. Jota collects the rebound and sends it back in. Firmino and Evans both go for the ball and Evans heads it onto the post!

54 mins: Naby Keita looks to have tweaked something. With all Liverpool’s injury problems Jurgen Klopp takes no risks and replaces him with Neco Williams. Williams slots in at right back and Milner has moved into midfield.
