Robert Green produces a strong one-handed save to deny Jonathan Kodjia from range.

A fine shot and a fine save. Villa are on top.

The home side have made a promising start, forcing an early corner which Leeds do get clear, but there's an urgency about Villa.

The crowd are loving it.

Villa Park really is a theatre. When the supporters are with you, you feel it and think anything is possible. It has been a shame to witness where the club has gone in recent seasons but in Steve Bruce they have the right man at the helm. This is a genuine Premier League club but they are starting to gather momentum.

It's lively! It should be fiesty. It's Aston Villa against Leeds, playing in the second tier! It starts now.

Play will be getting under way very shortly at the New York Stadium too, where Rotherham host Burton.

The teams are out on the field at a packed Villa Park. It should be a cracking atmosphere under the floodlights in the midlands.

Kick-off is coming up next!

Aston Villa against Leeds was a regular match-up in the first 12 years of the Premier League era, but this season is the first since 2003-04 that the two sides have been in the same division.

Leeds won the first meeting between the two sides earlier this month, with goals from Kemar Roofe and Chris Wood sealing a 2-0 victory at Elland Road.

However, the Whites haven't won at Villa Park since April 2002 - when former Australia international Mark Viduka netted the winner.

After finishing between 13th and 15th in all of the past five seasons, Leeds' fans are finally daring to dream as they approach the turn of the year in fifth place.

Under Garry Monk, they're right amongst the pact and, If they win tonight, they would go third in the table for at least 24 hours and would be just five points off an automatic promotion spot.

But their opponents Aston Villa are in fine form themselves...

Aston Villa haven't won three consecutive league games for more than six-and-a-half years.

Tonight they will aim to end that record and, at home, they have become a significant force at last.

Unbeaten at Villa Park all season, they are on a five-match winning run at home.

A sixth straight home win tonight would move them to within three points of the play-off places.

The January transfer window is getting closer and closer, which begs the question: Who should your team sign?

Whether you're desperate for a new left-back or have a youngster in mind who you want your club to sign, let us know via #bbcefl on Twitter.

Let's keep it realistic though if we can, agreed? I mean, as much as you might want him to, Real Madrid's James Rodriguez won't be signing for Rotherham.

Leeds boss Garry Monk makes one change from the side which beat Preston North End 4-1 on Boxing Day.

Liam Cooper replaces Kyle Bartley at centre-back, with Bartley missing from the matchday squad because of a knee injury.

Top scorer Chris Wood is on the bench.

Subs: Silvestri (GK), Denton, Vieira, Mowatt, Hernandez, Wood, Antonsson.

Aston Villa make three changes from the side which beat Burton 2-1.

Ashley Westwood, Jack Grealish and Jordan Ayew come in for Gary Gardner, Albert Adomah and Ross McCormack.

Steve Bruce has a powerful bench, with Gabby Agbonlahor and Rudy Gestede joining that trio among the substitutes.

Subs: Gollini (GK), Elphick, Gardner, Adomah, Agbonlahor McCormack, Gestede.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, having racked up only their third league victory of the season against Wigan on Boxing Day, Rotherham caretaker-boss Paul Warne has named an unchanged side.

Visiting Burton are on a four-game losing streak but Nigel Clough has decided to make only one change with Chris O'Grady replacing Jamie Ward, who scored at Aston Villa last time out, in attack.

Rotherham: Price, Fisher, Wood, Belaid, Mattock, Forde, Adeyemi, Frecklington, Newell, Brown, Ward.

Burton: McLaughlan, Brayford, McFadzean, McGrory, Naylor, Dyer, Palmer, Mousinho, Irvine, Akins, O'Grady.

Hello there and welcome to our live coverage of Thursday's two Championship games. (Yes, it is Thursday. I had to check with lots of people, but it is definitely Thursday).
