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
Bit of a dive
45’ Rutter tries to con the referee into making a big call, going over as he attempted to reach a loose Millwall back pass. No foul, says Kavanagh.
HT: Millwall 0-1 Leeds United
Feisty without being bad-tempered at The Den. Leeds the better team in possession & Piroe’s goal a perfect example of that. Millwall’s threat has been direct & from set-plays. United dealing with it, save for a few nervy moments.
Good save
47’ Another fast start to the half by Millwall. Meslier makes an important save from Bradshaw who really should have squared it. One-on-one.
50’ Gnonto given a final warning for pulling a Millwall shirt. Got away from him and the Italian tried to haul him back. Every able-bodied person in the home end on their feet protesting the decision not to show a yellow.
Argie-bargie
52’ Ampadu gets involved after Meslier takes a bump after gathering a ball in the area. Draws a crowd.
Stay onside
57’ Summerville wriggles away from challenges in the middle, finds Ayling’s overlapping run but he’s offside, frustratingly.
In the wars
60’ Leeds corner. Gnonto bodychecked in the middle of the park in the build-up, which Kavanagh saw and hurdled as Summerville carried on the move. Getting some real specialist treatment today, the young Italian.
