Leeds United visit Portman Road this afternoon in search of their first league win of the 2023/24 campaign against unbeaten Ipswich Town.

The Whites are set to welcome Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra back into the squad this weekend after the pair spent the past two weeks training individually due to off-field matters.

Manager Daniel Farke confirmed during his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon that he had spoken with the attacking pair and decided it was suitable for them to be reintegrated with the first-team group, despite outgoing transfer speculation and the submission of a transfer request in Gnonto’s case.

Opening day hero Crysencio Summerville also has an outside chance of being involved at Ipswich, while new signing and fellow Dutchman Joël Piroe could be named in Farke’s travelling squad, consequently bolstering Leeds’ attacking options by a marked degree.

Kick-off at Portman Road is at 3pm. Build-up, team news, live match coverage and post-match reaction here throughout the afternoon.

Ipswich Town vs Leeds United LIVE

Ipswich still threatening

31 - Big chance for Ipswich out front. Ball in behind Drameh caused the problem. Hosts get a corner only. Still 3-1 to Leeds.

28’ SAVE. Meslier beats Jackson’s shot away after Drameh coughed up the ball in a dangerous area.

24’ Drameh replaces the injured Byram.

22’ Last ditch stuff from Leeds. Struijk muscled off the ball near the byline, Ipswich recycle it and have one cleared off the line. Byram down receiving treatment.

GOOOOOOOALLLLLL PIROE 3-1

19’ A debut goal for the new boy, which coincides with the minute’s applause for a young Ipswich Town fan, which Leeds fans observe, too. Stunning crossfield pass by Gray to find Sinisterra, whose cross is fumbled by Hladky and Piroe arrives to score from six yards. 3-1.

GOOOOOOOALLLLL GNONTO 2-1

14’ Byram with a dangerous inswinging cross from the left. Gnonto gambles on it reaching the back post and stabs it into the back of the net. Celebrates in the corner in front of the home fans. #lufc

GOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL RUTTER 1-1

A great solo effort for the Frenchman’s first goal. 1-1. Georginio Rutter takes down a high ball, spins his man, goes past another into the penalty area with a good burst of pace and slots beyond the Ipswich ‘keeper. Parity restored. Really nice goal.

8’ Byram with a decisive tackle inside the penalty area to deny Ipswich a second goal in the space of two minutes. Home side flying forward down the left during these early stages.
