    Leeds are starting to put some nice passes together and Glen Kamara finds space to play in Willy Gnonto for the first time.

    Matija Sarkic easily deals with the cross but the home side will be encouraged that they're starting to find the spaces.

    Archie Gray then makes a decent run forward from right-back but loses the ball and is penalised for the challenge as he tries to win it back.

    When I watch Leeds with the set-pieces, I don't believe they are going to score. That's two corners now that are good opportunities, but you don't ever feel like they are going to score direct.

    This has got the feeling of a fantastic game - it's got a belting atmosphere.

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Ethan Ampadu gets up well to knock the ball down to Patrick Bamford for the hosts and the England striker loops an effort over Millwall keeper Matija Sarkic, and on to the roof of the net.

    The home side have looked comfortable on the ball in these early stages.

    First glimpse of Crysencio Summerville for Leeds.

    The attacker steals the ball off George Honeyman and drives at the Millwall defence, before unleashing a right-foot shot that deflects behind for a corner.

    Ilia Gruev's corner comes to nothing but Leeds come again and force another corner.

    Leeds 0-0 Millwall

    Some nice early link-up play on the right-hand side from Millwall pair Michael Obafemi and Brooke Norton-Cuffy, but as the ball is swung in there's no-one there - the away side will want to get Obafemi in those central areas.

    And the free-kick comes to nothing as the referee blows up after some tussling into the box.

    Leeds get on the ball for the first time as the two sides settle into what is a huge fixture for both clubs.

    The players shake hands and kick-off is approaching.

    Millwall head coach Neil Harris wants his players to embrace their 'underdog' status as they take on a dominant Leeds side on their own patch.

    The Yorkshire club are undefeated at Elland Road in the league and have won seven matches in a row at home since drawing with Coventry City in December.

    "This is going to be as difficult as it's ever been [to win away at Leeds]," he told BBC Radio London.

    "But we're going to enjoy it. As a football club, we are the underdog going into this game and that's when we're at our best.

    "Leeds have got an excellent home record this season and are there to be shot at."

    Leeds boss Daniel Farke has praised the impact of Millwall head coach Neil Harris and expects a "tight game" against the London club.

    "He knows the club inside out," he said.

    "Ten points in the last four games is very impressive. It's difficult to create chances against them.

    "They are dangerous on the counter and with set-pieces, compact and competitive."

    HT: Salford 1-0 Morecambe

    There's also a game in League Two this afternoon, where strugglers Salford City hold a deserved half-time lead over play-off chasers Morecambe.

    Connor McLennan's near-post effort has the hosts ahead and it could've been more, with Dan Chesters also hitting the bar.

    You'd think victory for Karl Robinson's side would put them safe from the drop, but Morecambe need to improve if they're to close in on the top seven.

    Leeds v Millwall (15:00 GMT)

    Today's match has ramifications for automatic promotion, the play-offs and the Championship relegation places, so all eyes will be on Elland Road this afternoon.

    A win by two goals or more for Leeds would send them top of the table above Leicester, who have been sitting on that perch since what feels like the beginning of time but have seen their 11-point lead shrink to just three after a run of three straight defeats.

    The Foxes are in FA Cup quarter-final action today against Chelsea, so a win for Leeds today would leave the top three separated by just one point.

    Millwall are unbeaten in four matches since Neil Harris returned to replace Joe Edwards as head coach.

    Three wins and a draw have lifted the Lions to 16th in the table, four points clear of the relegation places, in a battle involving eight teams all separated by five points.

    A win today would give the Londoners a seven-point cushion with eight games left of the season.

    Nine games have already been played this weekend, with more than a third of the goals all coming from one team as Ipswich Town thrashed strugglers Sheffield Wednesday 6-0 at Portman Road.

    Chelsea loanee Omari Hutchinson scored two and made one in a virtuoso performance as the Tractor Boys leapfrogged Leeds into the automatic promotion places.

    Norwich continued their fine run of form with a convincing 3-0 win at Stoke City to boost their play-off hopes - the Canaries have now lost just once in their last nine league games and sit sixth in the table.

    Swansea came out on top in the South Wales derby as they beat Cardiff 2-0 in the day's early kick-off to move seven points clear of the relegation zone.

    Emmanuel Dennis' first-half strike gave Tom Cleverley a 1-0 win in his first match as Watford's interim head coach against Birmingham at St Andrew's.

    West Brom beat Bristol City 2-0 at The Hawthorns to maintain their play-off push, while Preston won 1-0 at Plymouth Argyle to keep their own hopes alive.

    Middlesbrough v Blackburn, Rotherham v Huddersfield and Sunderland v QPR all ended goalless.
