Live updates from Elland Road as Jimmy Mullen’s Walsall take on the League One heavyweights.
16.51: Final whistle. A disappointing result for Saddlers after they got the midweek point at Leicester. Saddlers fans - where do they go from him? Send us your comments.
16.45: Delph scores another for the home side to confirm the result. Again, he finds the net from 25 yards.
16.35: Zaaboub and Reich replace Nicholls and Deeney.
16.27: Howson heads wide. Should have been 3-0.
16.24: Leeds score again. No way back for Saddlers now. Fabian Delph scores a screamer from 25 yards.
16.13: Deeney and Ricketts fire over for Saddlers.
16.04: Goal. Leeds take the lead early in the second half. Luciano Becchio scores just 42 seconds into the second period following a Leeds corner.
15.48: Half time.
15.42: Ricketts fires a free kick over the bar.
15.38: Walsall have done well so far, without wishing to tempt Fate. 0-0 at Elland Road is respectable but Saddlers will want to get all three points if it stays like this deep into the second half.
15.35: Jabo Ibehre has had Walsall’s best effort, but his shot from 12 yards is pushed round the post by the Leeds keeper. Ricketts heads over from six yards.
15.25: Leeds have had the lion’s share of the possession. Walsall are still in it, though.
15.15: Ricketts fires one wide for Walsall, while Leeds also have an effort that misses the target. Saddlers are only 9-2 to win at Elland Road today. Walsall fans - get the comments in. Can you win today?
