    And that's drinks.

    Cardiff probably shaded the opening stages but Leeds have just started to get on top in the past few minutes.

    Neither goalkeeper has been called into action yet.

    Tyler Roberts goes down under a challenge from Cardiff midfielder Joe Ralls around 25 yards from goal.

    Kalvin Phillips' effort is charged down by the wall before his second effort deflects wide.

    Leeds' first corner of the game is played short to Stuart Dallas and his cross in is headed over by Ben White.

    First real threat from the visitors.

    First shot of note comes from Cardiff.

    Experienced winger Junior Hoilett is allowed to drift in off the left but his low 20-yard effort lacks power and goes harmlessly wide.

    No lack of physicality in the game so far, with neither team holding back in tackles.

    Will Vaulks launches a long throw into the Leeds area after they clear a corner but again Leeds deal with it.

    Ben White is destined for the Premier League, whatever happens with Leeds' promotion, he's a class act.

    We saw when he was on loan at Newport he was set for special things. He's so assured for Leeds.

    Cardiff starting off on the front foot here.

    Just one of yesterday's 11 Championship games was won by the home side so they'll be looking to buck that trend today.

    There's a minute's applause for the victims of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as Leeds legends Trevor Cherry and Norman Hunter and Cardiff great Peter Whittingham, followed by the players and officials showing their support for the Black Lives Matter movement by taking a knee.

    Leeds get the game under way.

    Cardiff v Leeds (12:00 BST)

    Leeds won't have any supporters at the Cardiff City Stadium today, but in their away end are two flags remembering two club legends who sadly have passed away in the past few weeks.

    Former England defenders Norman Hunter and Trevor Cherry, both members of league-winning sides at Elland Road, died in April.

    For hosts Cardiff, this is their first game since legend Peter Whittingham died aged 35 in March.

    The former England Under-21 international scored 98 goals in 458 appearances for the club.

    If any one game sums up the experience of following Leeds in recent years it’s probably the reverse fixture at home to the Bluebirds in December.

    The hosts raced into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 10 minutes thanks to goals from Helder Costa and Patrick Bamford.

    A Bamford penalty in the 52nd minute looked to have wrapped things up as Leeds looked set to run riot.

    Even Lee Tomlin’s goal on the hour mark seemed to be mere consolation as the game headed into the final 10 minutes.

    However, if there’s one thing Leeds fans have learnt in recent years it’s to expect the unexpected.

    With eight minutes to go Sean Morrison pulled another back for the Welsh side before getting himself sent off for a poor tackle shortly afterwards.

    The unlikeliest of comebacks was completed with two minutes to go when Tomlin released Robert Glatzel with a wonderful touch and the German kept his cool to make it 3-3.

    Neutrals will be after more of the same today. Leeds fans less so.

  10. Harris wants to finish on a highpublished at 11:50 British Summer Time 21 June 2020

    Cardiff v Leeds (12:00 BST)

    Cardiff City boss Neil Harris says the Bluebirds are ready to finish the season on a high.

    Harris' side resume their campaign today in 11th place, three points off the play-offs and with genuine hopes of finishing in the top six.

    The Championship is back after a three-month absence.

    Leeds' promotion chances were boosted without them even playing, while a Derby County teenager returned to action with a match-winning hat-trick.

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa says he is grateful that his side will get the chance to clinch promotion on the field, rather than go up using a points-per-game method utilised in lower EFL divisions.

    “If we get something without playing… that was not something I wished,” said Bielsa.

    Championship teams will play their remaining matches behind closed doors and the Argentine added: "We know public health is above the rest of things, football is secondary if we compare with public health. We have to say the communication between the players and supporters makes football. Without this relationship, football is different.

    "What is important is the mental adaptation of the players to the new situation. The presence of the supporters is something very important but this is for football in general and every team. Everyone in the Championship has to adapt.”

  15. Promised land in sight for Leeds?published at 11:30 British Summer Time 21 June 2020

    Leeds celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Leeds were in terrific form before football was brought to a halt in March.

    The Whites had recorded five successive wins, all without conceding a goal, to go top of the Championship and their 16-year wait for a return to the Premier League looked set to be coming to an end.

    By all accounts there has been little let up in Marcelo Bielsa’s famously intense training regime since the players returned so they should be well set to pick up where they left off.

    Standing in their way today is a Cardiff outfit who still have an outside chance of a late (well, very late I suppose) push for the play-offs.

    Can they spring a surprise or is this finally Leeds’ year?

    Good morning and welcome to live text coverage of Cardiff v Leeds in the Championship.
