Leeds United – Liverpool

1. All the action as Liverpool look to put some early pressure on leaders Arsenal. Kicking off at 12.00 BST

2. Liverpool get things under way - they lose the ball and Leeds play it forward...

3. ...but that goes straight out of play and the visitors have a throw. Plenty of noise at Elland Road - beautiful weather and a snooker table pitch as well

4. 1'

   So, will we get a game to match the atmosphere?

5. 2'

   Good pressure by Kewell and Barmby forces Traore to concede a throw

6. 2'

   Kewell threatens to burst through, but his shot is charged down. Carragher makes a heavy challenge...

7. 3'

   The referee wants a word - the tackle was on Harte - but won't dish out an early yellow card

8. 3'

   Harte's having a spot of treatment after all that, but he won't have a problem. Leeds have the free-kick

9. 4'

   It's crossed in, but Liverpool deal with it and Murphy feeds it towards Baros

10. 4'

    Mills races across to deal with the threat - calm defending from the Leeds man

11. 5'

    Diouf does well down the right, getting a dangerous cross in which the home side hammer clear

12. 6'

    Harte, though, slices the ball out of play - a ragged start, with neither team having found much shape so far

13. 7'

    Mills and Smith find ex-Liverpool player Barmby - Hyypia is there to snuff out the danger

14. 7'

    At the other end, Lucic gets the ball away as Diouf again threatens for Gerard Houllier's Merseysiders

15. 8'

    But the ball back in falls to Murphy - and his full-blooded volley is deflected over the top for a corner

16. 9'

    It goes straight through the area, and Robinson takes the resulting goal-kick long

17. 9'

    Traore puts the ball behind as Barmby threatens - Leeds' turn to have a corner...

18. 10'

    Hamann is coolness personified as he gets that one out of harm's way

19. 10'

    Baros races into the area - Woodgate's under pressure but deals with it. The Czech striker's looking lively for Liverpool

20. 11'

    Harte whips in a dangerous cross from the left - Dudek shows great confidence to pluck that safely out of the air

21. 12'

    Back to the other end - Woodgate concedes a throw, then Cheyrou tries a long-range shot and sees it deflected over for a corner

22. 13'

    Leeds clear, and Kewell makes a good challenge to deny Murphy a chance to cause any more danger

23. 13'

    Liverpool on top - Baros twists and turns and Leeds are looking a little vulnerable at the back

24. 14'

    Every time the home side have the ball, they find it tough to keep it and the visitors are dictating the tempo

25. 15'

    Cheyrou proves the point, drilling in a dangerous ball which is deflected for another Liverpool corner

26. 15'

    Diao meets it with a header, but steers his effort wide of the target. Terry Venables can't be happy with this

27. 16'

    Bakke looks for Barmby on the left, but overhits his pass and Leeds can't make anything of that

28. 17'

    Mills clears another cross, but the ball is falling to the visitors almost every time...

29. 18'

    Diouf tries to steer it back into dangerous territory, but fails to do so

30. 18'

    Diao does well, winning yet another corner for his side - this one is on the left, and was conceded by Woodgate...

31. 19'

    Leeds clear - but there's nobody there to get hold of the ball and the home side are struggling badly to get anything going at all

32. 20'

    Yet again the ball is given away - and the discontent among the fans is growing. Liverpool virtually living in the Leeds half just now

33. 20'

    And at this rate, it must be only a matter of time until Houllier's men have a goal to show for their efforts

34. 21'

    But here's Bowyer - can he tilt the balance here?

35. 21'

    He wins a free-kick on the right - it's a good crossing position and Harte will take...

36. 22'

    Liverpool clear, and fine individual skill from Baros brings a corner. Swift break

37. 22'

    It's a bad one this time - straight over everyone and out of play

38. 23'

    Suddenly, Smith is on the ball for Leeds - it's a forceful run and the shot is on...

39. 24'

    He hammers it in, and a deflection off Hyypia sends the ball spinning just wide for a corner

40. 25'

    The flag-kick comes to nothing in the end - but at least that's a moment of encouragement for Leeds

41. 25'

    Their first meaningful effort on goal of the game - 25 minutes in

42. 26'

    Traore keeps his cool as Kewell tries to turn him on the right - that'll be a throw to Leeds, near the Liverpool area...

43. 26'

    Riise dispossesses Mills as he attempts to get a cross in

44. 27'

    Diouf chases an early ball forward, but it's too far ahead of him and he can't keep it in play

45. 28'

    Better passing from Leeds now - it's Kewell and Bowyer combining inside the Liverpool half

46. 28'

    But Liverpool are defending deep, and Leeds are finding it hard to get in behind the visitors

47. 29'

    Woodgate intercepts after a neat passing movement - all flicks and tricks - threatens to cause danger down the Liverpool right

48. 30'

    Murphy crosses, Mills heads behind for a corner. Liverpool pressure, but so far they haven't made real clear-cut chances

49. 30'

    And they don't here eaither - Carragher has a go from the edge of the area, but that effort's heading towards the Yorkshire Moors

50. 31'

    Bowyer whips in a wonderful cross and Kewell leaps to head goalwards...

51. 31'

    ...Dudek responds with a magnificent stop, tipping the ball over the bar

52. 32'

    The resulting corner is cleared - Liverpool look to come forward but Diao gives possession away sloppily

53. 33'

    Then Leeds give it away - Carragher's the beneficiary and he looks for Cheyrou

54. 33'

    No harm done for Leeds - things go awry for the visitors and the ball is out for a throw

55. 34'

    Back come Liverpool - Baros buzzing, but his low shot from distance skims wide of the post

56. 35'

    Kewell and Smith combine - the latter crosses and a deflection, followed by a Dudek touch, brings Leeds a corner

57. 35'

    Again, it's cleared well - Liverpool's defending from set pieces has been impressive

58. 36'

    Carragher and Murphy link for Liverpool, but an offside flag stops them in their tracks

59. 37'

    Barmby gets back well to deny Cheyrou as he launches into another run down the left-hand side

60. 38'

    Carragher gets involved and the ball falls to Diouf on the edge of the area - the effort is wild and high

61. 39'

    Finishing hasn't exactly been a strong point of this game so far

62. 39'

    In fact - with the excpetion of that Kewell header - it's been pretty dire

63. 40'

    Down goes Barmby under challenge from Carragher - that'll be a yellow card for the Liverpool player

64. 41'

    The free-kick's quite a way out - Harte will mastermind it...

65. 41'

    Bakke leaps to head the ball across goal, but Liverpool survive that brief scare

66. 42'

    Smith's getting irritated after one or two hefty challenges - unlike the usually serene striker

67. 42'

    Whatever happened to his Zen-like demeanour?

68. 42'

    Meanwhile back at the plot, Liverpool have a throw and time is running out in this first half

69. 43'

    Terry Venables will be looking to breathe more life into Leeds - they've been unimpressive, but have a free-kick here...

70. 44'

    Harte plays it in, Kewell gets another good header - and the crossbar rescues Liverpool

71. 45'

    Bakke is unable to steer the rebound on target - but that's the closest either side have come to a goal

72. 45'

    Diouf is booked for a challenge on Mills - we're in first-half stoppage time and Riise concedes an unnecessary corner

73. 45'

    Bakke threatens, but Leeds can't make anything of it. The referee takes a look at his watch

74. 45'

    And that's the end of the first half - patchy fare, and no goals

75. 46'

    We're under way in the second half - Leeds win an early throw and Mills will take it...

76. 46'

    But that comes to nothing, and Liverpool have a goal-kick, which Dudek will hit long

77. 46'

    Kewell takes the ball on and plays it dangerously into the area - it's hacked clear

78. 47'

    Now Bowyer - he steers the ball out wide, but to no avail. Soon, though, he's in possession again - and wins a dangerous free-kick on the right

79. 48'

    What can Leeds make of this? They've started the second half quite brightly...

80. 49'

    Harte will take it - but it's overhit and goes out of play before Bakke can get there

81. 50'

    Liverpool lose possession and Leeds come forward through Mills and Bowyer - the upshot of all that is another throw

82. 51'

    And from that, a challenge on Bowyer brings another potentially dangerous free-kick

83. 51'

    Liverpool defend it well - but now they face a corner...

84. 51'

    Again, the ball in is too deep - Kewell unable to keep it in play at the far post

85. 52'

    It's all Leeds at the moment - another cross is fired in, but this one is too close to Dudek

86. 53'

    Ian Harte goes into the book for a clumsy challenge - Liverpool fire the ball forward

87. 53'

    ...but it's too aimless to be of much use to the lurking Baros. Liverpool lethargic at the moment

88. 54'

    The Reds come forward again - and win a corner...

89. 55'

    That almost falls to Hyypia, but Leeds scramble the ball away from danger. Soon, though, it's another corner...

90. 55'

    Hyypia gets a touch, but sees his effort sail over Paul Robinson's crossbar

91. 56'

    More good running from Baros - this time, however, he's crowded out

92. 57'

    Down to the other end - Leeds win a flag-kick, but the ball loops harmlessly to Dudek

93. 58'

    Harte tries a long-range blast - Dudek, though, is perfectly placed to gather. Well hit, nevertheless

94. 59'

    McPhail and Cheyrou tangle - Liverpool's free-kick, inside the Leeds half

95. 60'

    The ball is crossed in, and Leeds get it clear for a corner...

96. 61'

    The ball is flicked on dangerously and - eventually and not without a scare or two - cleared

97. 62'

    Hamann on the ball as Liverpool try to attack with pace - Leeds pressure well to deny them space and time

98. 63'

    Leeds win a throw inside Liverpool territory - the ball can be crossed in here...

99. 64'

    A dangerous low pass is whipped in, but Dudek gathers and Liverpool are back on the move...

100. 65'

     Diouf fires in a cross, which takes a deflection...

101. 66'

     ...and Diao takes advantage to fire past Robinson from close range. It's his first Premiership goal, and it could put Liverpool top of the table - they lead 1-0!

102. 66'

     Leeds have had the bulk of this second half, but they find themselves trailing at home

103. 67'

     Bowyer crosses dangerously as they try to hit back - Carragher concedes the corner

104. 68'

     It's a poor delivery though, and Liverpool clear with no difficulty whatsoever

105. 69'

     Baros embarks on another good run before dragging a low shot wide - that will be his last contribution to this game, with Michael Owen coming on in his place

106. 70'

     Can the England striker help Liverpool to wrap up victory here?

107. 71'

     Cheyrou, Murphy and Owen link - Leeds are struggling and need to get Viduka, who is on for Smith, into the game

108. 72'

     Suddenly Houllier's side are taking control again, and they have just under 20 minutes to hold on

109. 73'

     Mills, Viduka and Kewell link - the ball's flicked to Bowyer on the edge of the area but his effort is well wide of the mark

110. 74'

     Leeds giving the ball away at the moment - they're poised to make another change

111. 75'

     Dacourt is into the fray, with McPhail coming off. The Frenchman has 15 minutes in which to make an impact

112. 76'

     Viduka gets a touch to a fizzing Mills cross, but he's unable to keep the ball down and it sails into the stand

113. 77'

     Leeds trying to find a way back - they move forward...

114. 78'

     It's another dangerous free-kick near the Liverpool area, which Harte will take...

115. 79'

     Liverpool concede a corner, but again the delivery is third-rate and the Merseysiders clear their lines with ease

116. 80'

     Frustration in the stands - Leeds have wasted their set-pieces this afternoon

117. 81'

     Dacourt makes a lunging challenge on Diouf - he'll get a ticking-off, but not a yellow card

118. 82'

     Goalscorer Diao tries his luck with a speculative shot. His luck's out, and wayward is the word of the moment

119. 83'

     Meantime, Leeds are huffing and puffing but looking increasingly likely to succumb to a third defeat in five home games

120. 84'

     They have a throw midway inside the Liverpool half, though...

121. 85'

     It's taken long and touched on, but Barmby is unable to get there and Dudek gathers for Liverpool

122. 86'

     Viduka takes advantage of a Riise error and streams down the right. He finds Kewell, who brings the ball under control inside the area...

123. 86'

     ...and then blazes the ball over. It's a bad miss - and Kewell's not the sort of player you would expect that from

124. 87'

     Dacourt on the move - Liverpool pump the ball clear. Was that miss the moment that confirms victory for them?

125. 88'

     Kewell lets the ball run - Hyypia is there before Viduka can take advantage and Houllier's side are very close to victory now

126. 89'

     Fans are leaving from the home areas - but here comes Mills. Kewell crosses, Hyypia clears and Liverpool can counter...

127. 90'

     Diouf races forward, and a foul by Mills brings a free-kick. That'll take up more time for Liverpool, and they'll be perfectly happy with that

128. 90'

     Leeds have three minutes of stoppage time in which to salvage something - meanwhile, the free-kick comes to nothing

129. 90'

     Robinson belts the ball long - too long, and it's all the way through to opposite number Dudek

130. 90'

     An offside flag goes up against Diouf - only seconds remaining now...

131. 90'

     And the final whistle goes. Liverpool are top of the Premiership, at least for a few hours - they've won 1-0 at Elland Road
