  1. Leeds 0-0 Burnleypublished at 12:47 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Bit of possession for Burnley now, who are being encouraged by the animated Sean Dyche on the touchline.

    He's got his suit jacket off already. It think that is due to a combination of the Yorkshire sunshine and how much he is moving around.

  2. Cardiff City 0-0 Fulhampublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    It's close for Fulham as Ross McCormack goes on a solo run and darts through the Cardiff midfield but he drills his shot wide of Simon Moore's post. Still goalless in South Wales.

  3. Leeds 0-0 Burnleypublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Leeds on the attack again, and it's Stuart Dallas again who is looking lively on his debut.

    He meets a deep cross at the back post but does not quite connect cleanly and Tom Heaton gathers easily.

  4. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Leeds getting a foothold in the game now and Sam Byram, after some brilliant work down the right wing, crosses for Chris Wood. The striker scuffs a volley and then Stuart Dallas' effort hits a player before Burnley keeper Tom Heaton diverts it onto the crossbar.

  5. Leeds 0-0 Burnleypublished at 12:37 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Half a sight of goal for Leeds striker Chris Wood, who is just unable to control the ball on the edge of the area.

    At the other end, Jelle Vossen's cross is met on the volley by Lukas Jutkiewicz, who fires over until the close attention of Charlie Taylor on him.

  6. Cardiff City 0-0 Fulhampublished at 12:37 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    A really good spell of pressure from Cardiff results Joe Mason receiving the ball but Andy Lonergan does well to save before a follow up is blocked by Dan Burn. Could the tide be turning? The hosts look more likely to score going into the final stages of the first half.

  7. Leeds 0-0 Burnleypublished at 12:34 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    A few tackles flying in and Tendayi Darikwa gives away the first foul of the match, and his Burnley career.

    Alex Mowatt's free-kick is heads towards the back post but is hacked away by the visitors.

  8. KICK-OFFpublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    With "Marching on Together" blasting around Elland Road from the home fans, Leeds striker Chris Wood gets us going.

    We are midway through the first half and it's all calmed down on the South Wales front! After a rather frenetic first 20 minutes, Cardiff seem happier to frustrate Fulham and keep possession. They will be looking to neutralise the threat of Matt Smith and Jamie O'Hara, who have been the stand out performers so far.

  10. Here come the teams...published at 12:28 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    With both teams in their home colours, Sol Bamba and Tom Heaton, both new captains, lead out their sides.

    Saturday football is with us again.

    We at BBC Sport enjoy a stat or two. We gave you some earlier on the Cardiff v Fulham game, but here is some from our 12:30 BST offering.

    Leeds have won five of their last six home matches against the Clarets, though they lost the last meeting at Elland Road.

    In the Premier League, Burnley did not scored more than one goal in any of their last 14 matches, failing to score on nine occasions.

    Fulham are bossing the game at the moment and their tails are up after a decent opening 20 minutes. Skipper Ross McCormack sends a lovely through ball and Jamie O'Hara delivers the ball to Matt Smith, who narrowly nods the ball over the bar.

    Goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who was confirmed as club captain last night, told Sky Sports: "The manager just mentioned it to me the other day - I was pleased to take it and I'm looking forward to the responsibility.

    "There has been a few changes this summer but everyone is raring to go and we're looking forward to mounting a serious title challenge."

  14. The manager's view - Sean Dychepublished at 12:17 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche told Sky Sports: "We know the challenge ahead of us, as do most of our group, so we're looking forward to it.

    "I think we've formed ourselves with a team and a club to be reckoned with, we've had good growth over the last two years.

    "We're looking forward to this game, Leeds are a massive club, and we're looking forward to the challenge."

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:16 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    It's an entertaining affair at the Cardiff City Stadium so far and the visitors are enjoying a decent spell of play. Fulham's Matt Smith has gone closest to breaking the deadlock and cannoned the ball off the base of the post with a powerful header that had beaten Cardiff keeper Simon Moore.

    Former Wigan and Brentford boss Uwe Rosler takes charge of Leeds for the first time competitively today since his appointment in May. He'll be hoping to take Leeds back to the top flight for the first time since 2004.

    Sean Dyche - affectionately known as 'the ginger Mourinho' to Clarets fans - will be looking to buck the trend of relegated sides from the Premier League struggling to get back at the first time of asking. Just over 20% of teams have managed it in the 29 seasons since the introduction of the play-offs.

  18. War of the Rosespublished at 12:10 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    Leeds v Burnley

    You have to go back to 2005 when one of these two won a meeting by more than a one-goal margin - Leeds beating the Lancashire side 2-0 at Elland Road thanks to goals from David Healy and Robbie Blake.

    A time when Westlife knocked the Arctic Monkeys off number one in the charts, pubs were allowed to open 24 hours and the Ashes were back in England after 18 years.

    Burnley's 37-year-old defender Michael Duff, in at centre-back today, started that game too.

  19. Cardiff City 0-0 Fulhampublished at 12:08 British Summer Time 8 August 2015

    It's been an end-to-end opening five minutes in South Wales as both sides size each other up. Cardiff had the first chance of the match but Joe Mason saw his shot blocked. At the other end, Fulham's Jamie O'Hara neatly chipped the ball to the onrushing Matt Smith who failed to get the better of goalkeeper Simon Moore.
