    The odds are stacked against Millwall ahead of this second half.

    Neil Harris has lost his last five meetings with Daniel Farke and as it stands he is heading for a sixth.

    Millwall have only picked up three points from losing positions and Leeds have won all 17 of their games when leading at half-time this season.

    Leeds are also unbeaten at Elland Road in the Championship this season.

    Big half-time teamtalk needed from Neil Harris.

    Someone's getting sent off today.

    Particularly with the style of play Leeds have got with Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnoto. Bring them down and that's another booking.

    A few decision could have gone for Leeds - definitely the penalty- but they have played really well. They haven't tested the goalkeeper too much but they are dominant, it's a really great performance from them.

    The challenge is can they produce another goal.

    The referee brings an end to the first half and Leeds go in ahead at the break thanks to Willy Gnonto's stunning opener.

    The home side have looked largely comfortable and could have had a bigger lead if referee Stephen Martin had penalised Jake Cooper for what looked like a clear foul on Joe Rodon in the Millwall penalty area.

    The Millwall captain had already been booked for a wrestling match with Willy Gnonto and avoided a second yellow card for a coming together with Georginio Rutter.

    He then managed to dodge another yellow card when he hauled Rutter to the floor on half-time, yet he is still in the game.

    Don't be surprised to see a half-time change.

    Well... Jake Cooper.

    He must be feeling pretty lucky on St Patrick's Day.

    Georginio Rutter has the ball and Cooper takes a handful of his shirt and just pulls him down.

    He must be on the thinnest tightrope now.

    Joe Rodon is involved again as we head towards half-time.

    It's a hopeful hoof long from Ryan Leonard in the Millwall defence for Michael Obafemi to chase.

    Illan Meslier isn't going to get there but Rodon does brilliantly to chest it past his keeper and clear the danger.

    We're in to five minutes of added time and Joe Rodon comes back on to see out the half.

    HUGE penalty shout from the home fans.

    It's Jake Cooper again. The ball comes to Joe Rodon in the box and the Wales centre-back tries to control it on the bounce.

    Cooper comes jumping in and looks to have just wiped him out.

    Millwall go up the other end and win a corner but Rodon is still down.

    Cooper's knee is very high and very close to the head, fortunately Rodon is back up.

    That looked like a penalty.

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Dazzlingly-quick feet from Georginio Rutter wins Leeds a corner, he has tormented the Millwall defence today.

    And Matija Sarkic might have kept his side in this, as he turns Crysencio Summerville's dipping effort wide.

    Jake Cooper's arm definitely comes across. In the Premier League - with VAR - there's a 99% chance of that being seen as intentional. But that's why we love the Championship.

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Millwall captain Jake Cooper might consider himself lucky to still be on the pitch.

    He gets in a foot-race with Georginio Rutter as the ball is played in behind, the elbow comes up and Rutter goes down holding his face.

    The referee gives the free-kick but his cards stay in his pocket.

    Into the final five minutes of the first half.

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Millwall are hanging on here.

    Junior Firpo almost doubles the lead for the hosts as his cross is deflected up high and Matija Sarkic just about gets it behind for a corner.

    The Lions don't deal with the ball in as it pings around the bodies and again it's deflected wide.

    Leeds are hungry for more goals and it's clear to see why - they currently trail Leicester at the top on goals scored. Close!

    WHAT A GOAL!

    The detail in what Patrick Bamford does is unbelievable. He cuts across the defender, gives Willy Gnoto a bit of space but what a strike! Just what Leeds needed.

    Both players have been like new signings.

    Brilliant goal to give Leeds the advantage!

    Willy Gnonto receives the ball on the right-hand side and darts inward, speeding towards the edge of the area.

    He takes another touch to get it out of his feet and smashes the ball beyond Matija Sarkic without breaking stride.

    Great goal.

    Lovely play from Leeds down the left almost leads to the opener.

    Crysencio Summerville plays in Junior Firpo and Jake Cooper makes a last-ditch challenge to get the ball behind for a corner.

    Millwall get up the other end and Firpo receives a yellow card for a late challenge on Michael Obafemi.

    Cooper again gets up highest to meet the free-kick but can only head over the bar.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 27 min

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Zian Flemming goes into the book for Millwall for a late challenge on Archie Gray, perhaps a hint of frustration after losing the ball initially.

    Just over halfway through the first half and not much to separate the two teams so far.

  16. Postpublished at 25 min

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Georginio Rutter wriggles free down the left-hand side to win another Leeds corner but Zian Flemming clears for the visitors.

    Groans from the Leeds fans as Millwall win a throw-in when they feel they should have had a free-kick, followed by enthusiastic cheers when the hosts win a subsequent free-kick.

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall win a free-kick in Leeds' half and George Saville swings the ball in looking for Jake Cooper.

    He meets the cross but can only send it wide of the goal.

    The temperature of this game has just started to rise a touch, that coming together between Willy Gnonto and Cooper has got the crowd and their team-mates going.

    Millwall will try and involve emotion into the game to put Leeds players off. It's all the trickery and dark arts that will be tried in this game.

    It breaks up the theme of what Leeds were doing before that little incident. They were on top.

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall create something from nothing as a long ball reaches Michael Obafemi up front.

    The striker uses his strength to get the ball down to Zian Flemming, whose snapshot has power but is straight down the throat of Illan Meslier.

    Jake Cooper and Willy Gnonto then go into the book after having a mini wrestling match off the ball at the other end.

  20. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15 min

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Leeds are calling for a penalty as Georginio Rutter strikes at goal and there's a hint of a hand as it strikes Billy Mitchell.

    The ball then comes to Crysencio Summerville on the left-hand side and his fierce strike hits the side-netting.

    The home side creating all the early chances.
