Needless from Leon Bailey.

The Villa winger kicks the ball away in frustration and the referee pulls him in for a chat.

Lucky to escape a yellow card for that.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag to MOTD: "It's quite simple, it's a lack of belief. When you don't believe on the pitch then you can't win games, that is unacceptable. We get undisciplined at following rules and you get hammered, that's happened today.

"For me it was a surprise. We were not on the front foot, we were not brave on the ball and there were spaces to play but we were not brave enough.

"All the credit to City, but it's nothing to do with City, our performance was not good. It had to do with the belief as individuals and as team.

"From the first minute I felt it and at half-time we changed things and we changed attitude. We saw a different Manchester United after half-time and we scored goals, we created some more. On the ball we were more brave, we came in the opponent's half and we scored three goals.

"In this moment I can't think about positives. We let our fans down, we let ourselves down and we're hugely disappointed."

A rousing rendition of Marching On Together by the home fans and it is absolutely packed out.

A Leeds win takes them into the top half, but Aston Villa have picked up four points from the past two games.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch gets a reporter’s view today as he’s up in the media seats.

We're up and running in Leeds...

Here we go then, both sets of players have emerged from the bowels of Elland Road and we're nearly ready for kick-off...

It was a tough time for Leeds United fans in the summer as they lost star player Raphinha, with the Brazilian, whose 11 league goals last season were vital in keeping Leeds in the top flight, leaving West Yorkshire for Spain in a £49m move to Barcelona.

But the Elland Road faithful are quickly finding a new cult hero to cheer on.

Winger Luis Sinisterra signed a five-year contract in the summer in a £21m transfer from Feyenoord and his first goal came with a 25-yard strike in a 3-1 win Carabao Cup win over Barnsley as he wowed the home fans with his pace, dribbling ability and attacking intent.

Further spectacular goals against Everton and Brentford have followed, before he scored his first three goals for Colombia - one in a 4-1 win over Guatemala and two in a 3-2 victory against Mexico - during the recent international break.

"He's in fantastic form and I have no doubt he's going to continue to be a great player," said Leeds boss Jesse Marsch on Friday. "He's an incredible person, humble, works hard, gets everything and he's intelligent."

Remember, Leeds boss Jesse Marsch will be missing from the touchline this afternoon.

The American was given a one-game ban after being sent off in his side's defeat by Brentford on 3 September.

How will the hosts get on without their boss in the dugout?

Manchester City

Erling Haaland speaking to MOTD: "It could've been more and in the second half we should've been tighter, worked a bit harder, because it was a bit sloppy at times. We lost the second half and this is not good so we still have to work."

On making his Manchester derby debut: "It's been good, I felt it a little bit before the game that something special is going to happen and we saw today that some special things happened. It was nice.

"On Friday I felt it in the whole training ground. It's these games I want to play in. These are the best games where there's a bit extra.

"Confidence is good, it's always been good. After we played against Liverpool in the Community Shield it was still good after. I think it was good that match happened, that something happened and [I thought] I have to be a bit more ready. "

Only Wolves and Nottingham Forest have scored fewer away goals than Villa so far this season.

Steven Gerrard's men are also three defeats from three on the road.

But a win today would be a third in a row at Elland Road for the first time in the club's history.

So a few injury problems for Aston Villa with Diego Carlos (ruptured Achilles), Boubacar Kamara (knee), Lucas Digne (heel) and Matty Cash (hamstring) all unavailable, but Villa boss Steven Gerrard has challenged his squad to step up in their absence.

“You know you're going to have stages of the season where you get an injury or a couple at the same time, so we've tried to build a squad to be prepared for these situations,” said Gerrard.

“But, for me, I get a lot of people knocking on my door – at times they are frustrated, at times they don’t see they are very close to an opportunity.

“And now, it’s like, ‘go on then, here is your time, here is your moment, back up what you have said when you have knocked on my door’. There will be opportunities for those players and I'm looking forward to seeing how they play.”

In case you missed our earlier entry on the team news, here's a look at how both sides will set up...

Thanks Emma!

Hopefully we haven't already seen all of the goals today...

We're just 15 minutes away from kick off at Elland Road.

Manchester United

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen speaking to Sky Sports: "It came very heavy. Everyone feels it was a very bad day at the office. We started on the wrong foot. They had chances straight from kick-off. We can only blame ourselves.

"We missed a bit of courage to play out from the back and we let them be at their strength. The main focus from this game will be on ourselves.

"There are a lot of things we need to change and a lot of things we need to do better. Today was far from acceptable from what we should be doing."

Mantej Mann is going to jump in to take you through Leeds v Aston Villa. They have a tough act to follow after that derby!

I'll stick around to bring you reaction from Manchester.

Take it away Mantej.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch won't be in the dugout after his red card against Brentford last month.

His side will still play with the same great intensity though, and Elland Road always seems to lift them. At home is where you feel it is going to happen for them.

Villa got a big win over Southampton last time, but their results on the road so far have been poor, with three defeats out of three, and I don't see that changing here.

Prediction: 2-1

Steve: The BBC Sport website needs two 'Premier League Top Scorers' pages; one for Erling Haaland and one for everyone else. Otherwise it's just going to look silly.

Ian: I have a Football Manager save where Haaland scored 92 goals in a season, seemed unrealistic at the time but now…

Aston Villa have nine matches before the start of the World Cup so there's still plenty of time for striker Ollie Watkins to force his way back into contention for Gareth Southgate's England squad for Qatar.

But the 26-year-old, who scored for the Three Lions as recently as March in a 3-0 friendly win over Ivory Coast, will quickly need to rediscover his best form after only netting once in eight games in all competitions this season.

Another England international, Danny Ings, also has just one Premier League goal to his name this season as Villa have only managed six league goals, with only West Ham and Wolves netting fewer times.

Speaking of England strikers, Leeds' Patrick Bamford will be hoping he can rediscover his form of 2020-21 when his 17 Premier League goals (including a hat-trick against Villa) earned him his only international cap before a retched time of ankle, hamstring and foot injuries wrecked his last campaign.

A hip problem has also affected his game time this season but Bamford did score a hat-trick in a 6-2 win for Leeds' Under-21s against Southampton on 16 September and will be hoping to make an impact today. If he scores this afternoon, it will be his first senior goal in 2022.

If Man City had Haaland last season, they would have won the Champions League. That's a fact.

Just a reminder that Leeds v Aston Villa is coming up at 4.30pm.

Stick around for more reaction from the Manchester derby but we'll start building up to that one as well.

Shamshad: It's a special day for Foden. He grown up as a City fan. A ball boy to a player and scored a hat-trick against absolute rival United.
