Millwall vs Leeds United live: Piroe finds the net in first half, goal and score updates from The Den
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Whites return to Championship action at midday in what could prove to be one of their sterner tests of the campaign so far. Up to this point, Leeds have won one, drawn three and lost one in the league, whilst also being eliminated from the Carabao Cup on penalties by Salford City.
Farke has had the vast majority of his first-team squad available to him during the international break, including new signing and Luis Sinisterra replacement Jaidon Anthony who joined from AFC Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal.

Hide AdThe Cherries wideman and Bulgarian international midfielder Ilia Gruev, who has now received international clearance, are both expected to be included on the bench today.
Of those who were on international duty with their respective nations the past two weeks, Farke confirmed on Friday that none had returned with injuries that could keep them out of this afternoon’s fixture, however new man Djed Spence is a ‘major doubt’ after a knock to his knee in training.
In addition, a throng of first-team players, including skipper Liam Cooper, are in line to make a return to the matchday squad after a short period on the sidelines.

Millwall vs Leeds United LIVE
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL PIROE 1-0
14’ Less than 30 seconds after a big penalty shout for Millwall, Leeds go up the other end and Piroe slots home following some lovely attacking interplay. Away end goes mental.
18’ Gnonto’s ball-carrying causing trouble for Millwall whenever Leeds get in possession. Lots of space for him to exploit down the left and through the middle.
20’ Corner to Leeds. Ampadu’s shot deflected wide. Weathered the early storm and now starting to show their quality on the ball, Leeds.
Swung in, comes all the way through and cleared for another corner.
Comes to nothing
21’ Second corner in-a-row swung in by Summerville, Byram gets up for it but no clean connection. Ayling tries to keep the move alive by hooking it over his head but Bialkowski gathers.
24’ Leeds almost nab a second through Summerville who dinks Bialkowski from a narrow angle, having been played in over the top by Ayling. Ball runs across the face of goal and is recovered by Norton-Cuffy.
Big stop
30’ SAVE. Meslier gets down low to his left to deny Longman’s effort. Millwall starting to come back into this.
No foul
38’ Rutter goes down on the edge of the box under heavy pressure but referee Chris Kavanagh waves it away. Piroe then fouls his man as Leeds try to retrieve possession.
Treatment
39’ Joe Rodon down receiving treatment for a head injury near the touchline. Has been imperious in the air so far this afternoon.
