White gets the first touch on the corner but sends the ball on one to Harrison, who leathers a shot towards the near post ... forcing Leno to tip around the post! That's a good save; the resultant corner comes to nowt.
26'
Nketiah tries to dribble out of defence and is robbed, allowing Harrison to clip towards theback post, where White heads behind, away from Rodrigo.
25'
Leeds counter and James pops up on the right, but is quickly blocked off by Kolasniac.
25'
Arsenal win a free-kick down the right which Cedric swerves to the back post, Llorente shovelling it away from White, and Pepe's weak follow-up shot is deflected behind. The corner comes to nowt.

White bursts out of defence, so Roberts hacks him down and is booked.
22'
Harrison carries the ball from left to right, then looks to flip a pass to meet the run of James at the back post, but sticks too much on it.
21'
It's a pretty even game now.

That's better! A gorgeous long pass from someone - I think it was Llorente but perhaps it was Phillips - takes Leeds from back to front in a split-second and James is on the end of it! But his first touch is a fraction heavy, setting him for a shot but allowing Leno to come out and snaffle.
18'
Nketiah takes a pass from Leno and turns Struik then eases away, but he opts not to feed Martinelli and Llorente, who's playing well, slides in to unload him.
17'
So far, neither side has mustered the class to create anything decent.
15'
Leeds nash down the right with Rodrigo, who takes a nice ball from Drameh. But a poor first touch means he can't attack the box, so instead he drills into some shins, winning a corner that comes to nowt.
14'
Elsewhere, England's women are 7-0 up away to Latvia in their World Cup qualifer.
13'
64% of Arsenal's attacks have come down their left, but Drameh has stood up to them well - so far.
11'
The corner comes to nowt.

Elneny fires a pass into Nketiah, who flicks off first-time for Maitland-Niles, who's got serious wheels. He bursts into the box and looks about to shoot ... then Llorente slides in to make a tremendous tackle, the loose ball running wide to Martinelli, whose shot clips Meslier's undercarriage and goes behind.
9'
The left flank looks like it could be nifty for Leeds and here comes Dallas burrowing down it, three defenders ganging up to close him down.
7'
First bit o' Leeds, Dallas finding Rodrigo who sticks James in behind Cedric. But he went too early - unnecessary given he's faster Eddie - and the flag yanks him back.
6'
Holding drives forward, over halfway and towards the box, sliding to Nketiah outside him, who pulls wide of the near post ... and then the flag goes up.
6'
Holding finds Nketiah, who's again down the left of the box, but Llorente sticks to him and forces him backwards.
4'
This has been a decent start from Arsenal and here's Nketiah on the left, drilling a low cross that Pepe can't quite reach.
4'
Llorente slides out to Drameh, who waits for the ball to come to him - enough time for Martinelli to seize it, but Llorente does a good covering for his young buddy, sliding in to tackle.
