Action at both ends as Leicester respond to that early chance through Harvey Barnes who forces a save from Illan Meslier. It's comfortable for the Leeds keeper. Lively start by both teams.

Jesse Marsch's Leeds reign is under way to a chorus of 'Marching On Together' from the travelling fans.

It's almost a dream start for Marsch as Dan James gets behind Leicester's defence and it requires a smart save by Kasper Schmeichel to turn it around for a corner.

And Leicester get the game started in bright sunshine.

The players are lined up in the centre-circle applauding in solidarity for Ukraine. Lots of fans holding up sheets of paper with hearts on them in blue and yellow. Meanwhile, there are Ukraine flags and scarves in the crowd.

A friendly handshake and a word from Brendan Rodgers in the ear of Jesse Marsch. The new Leeds boss isn't fooled by the weather, The sun is out but he's wearing a coat. It's still a bit nippy.

Leeds defend like they attack. Fast and all over the place.

Leeds and Leicester have conceded 103 goals between them in the Premier League this season.

This is going to finish 0-0, yes?

The sun is out at the King Power but the pitch is getting a right good soaking. The sprinklers are doing their job. The players are starting to gather in the tunnel. This is going to be a cracker, right?

Leicester's late win at Burnley in midweek will have lifted the whole squad for several reasons - it was their first league victory and clean sheet of 2022, plus Jamie Vardy was back fit for the first time this year and scored too.

All of that means this is a tricky start for new Leeds boss Jesse Marsch.

I'd expect a determined performance from his side and they might make themselves more difficult to beat, but I don't see it being a quick fix, especially while Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford remain injured.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

You can see Leeds in the warm-up trying to win the ball back as quickly as possible, but they won't be man-to-man [marking] and that is what players prefer.

It will be interesting to see today how Jesse Marsch sets them up.

Chinese rights holders have told the Premier League they will not broadcast English top-flight matches this weekend because of the league's planned shows of support for Ukraine, the BBC has learnt.

China is a close political ally of Russia, which has invaded Ukraine.

The Premier League has said it "wholeheartedly rejects Russia's actions" and is set to show solidarity with Ukraine.

That will include captains wearing special armbands in Ukrainian colours, while stadium screens will display 'Football Stands Together' in front of the country's blue and yellow flag.

Fans have also been encouraged to join "a moment of reflection and solidarity before kick-off at each game".

Jesse Marsch is the fifth manager whose first ever Premier League game has come against Brendan Rodgers.

Each of the previous four have all lost - Ronald Koeman, Hayden Mullins, Paul Heckingbottom and Bruno Lage.

Ben: Same as many, Bielsa is going to be greatly missed. He's helped us rise from the ashes, and given us fans something we've missed for the past 16 years - hope. Gutted to see him go, but it was the correct decision. Marsch looks to be a solid fit and I think, providing he can keep us up, he's going to be the right man to take us to the next level.

Including caretakers, six of the last seven managers to take charge of Leeds in the Premier League have lost their first game in the competition.

The Leeds fans welcome their players over to warm up in front of the away end with a big round of applause. There's a lot of intrigue about what will change about this side under Jesse Marsch. The Whites supporters have been so used to seeing things done the Marcelo Bielsa way.

Will Marsch go 4-2-2-2? 4-2-3-1? Or carry on with his predecessor's 4-1-4-1? The role of Rodrigo is one to keep an eye on. Bielsa saw him predominantly as a number 10, preferring Dan James up top in the last months of his tenure. Will the Spanish international be asked to play a more traditional number nine role here?

Half an hour to kick-off and the King Power is filling up.

Captain of Leicester's title winning team, speaking to 5 Live

Leicester have not played to the best of their ability this season. The position they are in the league reflects that. I feel sorry for Brendan Rodgers. He has had to cope with injuries to some key players and that has definitely not helped.

But performances haven't been what we would expect. They are still in mid-table with games in hand so things can still turn around.
