    Hamza Darby: NO CHANGES!!?

    Not at the break, but I don't think it'll be too long before either Jefferson Montero or Jacob Murphy (or both) are introduced off the Albion bench.

    A bit of a mix-up in the Leeds box from a West Brom free-kick as goalkeeper Kiko Casilla bumps into his own midfielder and Mateusz Klich is left a little worse for wear.

    The Baggies get a second chance from another set-piece - and almost a goal! Hal Robson-Kanu gets there ahead of the keeper but diverts his header over the bar.

    Go back a couple of months and you’d have had United as heavy favourites to win the Sheffield derby, but Wednesday are a team transformed since Steve Bruce took charge at the start of February. Suddenly there's talk of an unlikely promotion push by the Owls.

    The Blades, of course, need points to maintain their automatic promotion challenge.

    Add in the fact that Bruce will be up against the club with which he started his managerial career, and you have the ingredients for a cracking contest.

    We’ll have live text coverage from 19:30 GMT on Monday.

    HT: Leeds 2-0 West Brom

    At one of those Championship games, Ipswich will be welcoming a special guest.

    Bowza the dog will lead out the Town side for their game with Reading on Saturday after helping to save a elderly woman's life.

    The seven-year-old Labrador and Rottweiler-Husky cross is the club's community champion after he kept the lady warm to stop her getting hypothermia as she waited for an ambulance.

    Click on the play button as the dog's owner Don Cox, Ipswich midfielder Cole Skuse and boss Paul Lambert tell BBC Look East explain why he is so special.

    And those two minutes pass without any further goals, although West Brom needed their striker Jay Rodriguez to be alert to clear a corner inside his own six-yard box.

    Leeds have been ahead since the 16th second of this match and lead 2-0 at the break. If they win, they'll be top of the Championship.

    An important team talk ahead for this man. How does Darren Moore conjure up a West Bromwich Albion comeback in West Yorkshire?

    Leeds 2-0 West Brom

    Rekeem Harper is a player that West Brom fans have a lot of high hopes for and the youngster's neat footwork on the right almost creates an opening for Albion.

    Five minutes of the first half left to play.

    Leeds 2-0 West Brom

    There are more goals in this. It's such an open game.

    Pablo Hernandez - who found the top corner after 16 seconds at Elland Road - has another go from distance for the hosts but it flies over the bar.

    Leeds 2-0 West Brom

    This is West Brom's best spell of the match. A right-wing cross is cleared to safety by the hosts.

    Play is then stopped as Leeds striker Patrick Bamford goes down after a tangle with Craig Dawson. Nothing in that whatsoever.

    Leeds 2-0 West Brom

    A good response from the Baggies!

    The ball's well won in midfield by Jake Livermore and it's laid into the path of Jay Rodriguez, who tries his luck from 35 yards and forces Kiko Casilla into a very good save.

    Tosin Adarabioyo heads the resulting corner just wide. Some hope for the visitors.

    Patrick Bamford

    Leeds score a deserved second and it's Patrick Bamford who finishes off a neat passing move, shooting low underneath Sam Johnstone.

    Craig Dawson is caught out by Bamford's movement and couldn't recover.

    It's lovely build-up by Leeds and more loose defending from Albion. I may regret asking this (yes, I remember that Aston Villa comeback against Sheffield United a couple of weeks ago) but is it game over already?

    Again, Gareth Barry's delivery into the Leeds box is one of those floaty ones that just asks goalkeepers to come and collect them. So Kiko Casilla does.

    West Brom's players paid for coaches for fans to make the journey to Leeds today. They've not had too much to shout about so far.
