Harvey Barnes could not believe he was getting presented a chance like that. He does what is expected.

No other option. Straight red for Douglas Luiz.

Referee Michael Oliver barely needs to look twice at his pitchside monitor before deciding on a course of action.

Villa down to 10 men and climbing a mountain.

Fulham 1-0 Aston Villa

Oh dear. Looks like Villa's evening is going to go from bad to worse... Douglas Luiz sticks his head on Aleksander Mitrovic, who goes down like he has been hit with hammer.

Referee Michael Oliver doesn't see it. But VAR does...

Better from Leeds. A quick counter from that Leicester corner ends with the dangerous Luis Sinisterra cracking the frame of the home goal.

Leicester survive!

Villa need a spark and Emi Buendia is the man who Steven Gerrard hopes can provide it.

The Argentine playmaker is chosen ahead of Philippe Coutinho and he replaces Leon Bailey.

That was well defended by Leeds it looked like Timothy Castagne tried to head that back across goal to Jamie Vardy rather than going for it himself.

Good spell of pressure from Leicester, who are having success from wide areas.

Leeds centre-back Diego Llorente has to be alert to divert a couple of crosses away from his goal, with the second going out for a Foxes corner.

The Spaniard dishes out a rollicking to his team-mates for not closing down quickly enough.

Jambarrel: I'm a Villa fan wanting Gerrard to succeed and happy to be patient, but can't help compare to Newcastle and think they have a similar squad in value and ability but look what Howe is achieving.

Mike: If the result holds I just don’t see how Gerrard can stay. The team have no plan or identity. Worse than when we were relegated in 2016.

Not too much sign of a response from Villa, however.

Fulham look more likely to get a second than conceding an equaliser.

Aleksander Mitrovic isn't quite on fire, but the light is flickering. The Serb cracks a half volley over the Villa bar.

The trio of Luis Sinisterra, Brenden Aaronson and Crysencio Summerville have looked really bright for Leeds.

Lively response from Leeds. Brenden Aaronsen is a real bright spark and is at the heart of their best attacking play.

The American picks out Crysencio Summerville and the Dutch youngster fires a low effort wide.

Anon: Re: 20.30 Well, you did say Leeds were looking the likeliest to score. And they did.

Leeds winder Crysencio Summerville's full debut has been painful one so far.

First he sees his team fall behind and now he needs treatment. He looks fine to continue.

Leeds never recovered from Marc Roca losing possession inside their own half.

If Robin Koch had not tried to intervene, Harvey Barnes would have had an open goal.

I guess Illan Meslier might have been aware of that and stayed on his line but in the moment, it is difficult to retain that awareness.

Fulham have the bit between their teeth again at the start of the second half.

Goalscorer Harrison Reed pops up on the right wing, pulling back to Aleksander Mitrovic who scoops high and wide.

It was a brilliant decision to allow play to continue. There was talk the referee might pull it back, stop play or book Marc Roca.

Robin Koch felt he had to deal with that ball but he gets the wrong touch and it ends up in the back of the net.

We go again.

Steven Gerrard's answer to that miserable first-half performance is bringing Matty Cash on.

The right-back replaces his Poland international team-mate Jan Bednarek, who lasts 45 minutes on his full debut.
