Leeds United vs Plymouth Argyle live: Second-half goal and score updates from Elland Road as hosts run riot
Leeds United welcome Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle to Elland Road this afternoon in what, on paper at least, looks to be one of the Championship’s biggest mismatches so far this season.
Leeds are without a number of first-team players including the dual-absence of defensive midfield pair Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu. Largie Ramazani joined the absentee list midway through last month and Jayden Bogle serves a one-match suspension, while Max Wober is steadily making a return from a knee injury but is not likely to be involved today.
Junior Firpo is expected to make an immediate comeback to Daniel Farke’s starting lineup this afternoon after serving a one-game ban of his own last week as Leeds drew 0-0 with Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
Farke said on Thursday that Dan James (hamstring), Patrick Bamford (adductor) and Joe Gelhardt (hip) would all be subject to late fitness tests to see whether they may play a part at Elland Road.
Plymouth arrive in West Yorkshire with an away record they’d probably like to put right having failed to score in six of their seven matches on the road this term.
Build-up, team news, live goal and score updates as well as post-match reaction here throughout the day. Kick-off is at 3pm.
