    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    I wish I had set up a shortcut on my keyboard for Leeds corner.

    This one's headed away but still Leeds come.

    Into the final 10 minutes now.

    Mateo Joseph is on and Willy Gnonto is off.

    Leeds' corner count hits double figures.

    Crysencio Summerville's delivery is whipped in but Rovers keeper Aynsley Pears punches it away.

    A Leeds player then comes up with a foul throw to lift the pressure on the away side.

    Willy Gnonto's cross in is met by sub Patrick Bamford but he doesn't make clean contact and the ball flies over.

    Big chance for Leeds comes and goes. Again.

    Boy, is it tense in Elland Road right now.

    Remember, Leeds will go top with a point here but it would be a second successive 0-0 in front of their own fans and three games without victory.

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Leeds win their ninth corner of the match.

    This one goes the same way as the previous eight.

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Wave after wave of Leeds attack.

    Full-back Junior Firpo is furthest forward and nearly bundles in from a cross but Aynsley Pears claws it away and then Dan James smacks a low shot across the goal that just needs a touch off anyone to go in.

    It doesn't get it.

    Former Blackburn striker on BBC Radio Lancashire

    It's an unbelievable forward line that Leeds have. They have six players in there that are capable of playing in the Premier League, there's no doubt about it.

    There's changes for Leeds but there's no change in system just personnel. Plan B is the same as Plan A.

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Leeds sub Dan James wins yet another corner for the home side but, yet again, Blackburn make first contact on it and head it away.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 67 mins

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    The home side go to their bench and it's a tripler.

    Ilia Gruev, Connor Roberts and Georginio Rutter are off. Sam Byram, Dan James and Patrick Bamford are on.

    Rutter looks especially unhappy at getting the hook.

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    This ball just will not go in and it's Leeds' turn to hold their heads!

    Georginio Rutter forces a great save from Aynsley Pears in the home goal and the rebound hits Crysencio Summerville and lands in Pears' hands.

  12. 'Nervousness in the game'published at 13:55 British Summer Time 13 April

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Leigh Bromby
    Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds

    There's a bit of nervousness come into the game. You've got to remember Blackburn are playing for their lives too.

    Sam Gallagher had the best chance of the game - has to score - but it was great defending from Connor Roberts.

    Stuart Goodman, Leeds fan: Leeds are top on goal difference. However, we really need an emphatic win today. Even if Leeds take all three points today, purists will argue that Leeds are not really top because Leicester and Ipswich have matches in hand!

    Mike, Surrey: Leeds 0 Blackburn 0 ..are all these teams trying to avoid promotion?

    How have Blackburn not scored?!

    First sloppy play gives Joe Rankin-Costello a chance that he shanks wide from 20 yards and then moments later a huge chance falls to Sam Gallagher at the back stick.

    The big striker just can't quite get his toe on Sammie Szmodics low ball across the face and the home side smuggle it away off the line.

    Leeds are piling the pressure on now.

    Thirty minutes to go. It's going to be some effort from Rovers to keep the home side out if this carries on.

    Blackburn are still defending together. Taking the knocks, taking the blows, getting in there. It will be interesting to see what Leeds do after the hour mark with the attacking players on their bench.

    You'd have to say Blackburn are at the bare bones in their squad. They haven't got the money.

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Leeds then break again after cutting out a Blackburn attack high up.

    The away side harry back and eventually Ilia Gruev chances his arm from range but it's a routine stop for Aynsley Pears.

    Moments later Willy Gnonto smashes an effort just wide as the Whites look to turn the screw.

  18. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn go on a rare foray forward and win a throw in high into Leeds territory.

    Leeds keeper Illan Meslier takes charge from the flick on and tries to launch an immediate counter.

    Max: On current form, you can’t rule Southampton out of automatic promotion with the games in hand & they have to play two of the top three.

    Saints are currently 10 points off the top two, but visit Leicester and Leeds in two of their last three games.

  20. Postpublished at 48 mins

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Leeds have the first attack of the second half, unsurprisingly.

    Junior Firpo and Joe Rodon both have a go at it but neither can make solid connections.
