Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch takes charge of the team for the first time at Elland Road this evening.
He cuts it across the edge of the box first-time, and Raphinha almost gets a shot away. Curling away from Meslier and into the top corner. Meslier and Ayling smother a Villa pass into the box. It ricochets into the air and falls to Watkins who can't direct the spinning ball goalbound. Patrick Bamford is expected to be named in the squad for a second consecutive week as he bids to make a comeback from concurrent injuries which have derailed his 2021/22 campaign. Leeds' first fixture under the new head coach was a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last weekend, however there were encouraging signs of progress.

He gave Ayling and Struijk a tough time of it tonight and ran the channels well to get Villa up the pitch. He just entertained from start to finish and grabbed his fourth goal from eight with a decent finish off Struijk to get the party started. Did well in there and did what was asked by Gerrard as he helped screen the back four before he was replaced late on with the game in the bag. His ball across to Cash for the second was sheer class as well. In terms of his forward play, Watkins almost got on the end of Digne's ball but for Coutinho who eventually finished. Left a really late one on Ayling in the first half which looked nasty. Stuck to the task at hand and you have to remind yourself now and again the kid's just 20. But the skipper soon rolled his sleeves up and got on with it and came up with another assist here as he teed-up his defensive partner. Digne's free-kick led to Chambers' goal in the second half as well. The full-back was also on hand to clear a dangerous ball into Villa's penalty area after the break. A strong showing and a goal to boot. His end product is just getting better and better as the Polish international not only scored a belter but picked out Coutinho for the opener.

"I am very happy," he said after the 3-0 win. "This weekend is massive," Clinton Morrison added. "Leeds didn't create much, especially in the first half," Morrison added. In some ways I like having my back against the wall," he said. We were a real joy to watch going forward. "I thought they were poor in the opening 45 minutes. "The gameplan worked tonight for sure. However, Leeds' fortunes did not change and Matty Cash fired Villa into a 2-0 lead in the 66th minute. Leeds, who have suffered six straight defeats, conceding 21 goals, stay 16th but are just two points above the relegation places having played more games than Everton and Burnley below them. The games come thick and fast. "It is basically a final on Sunday [against Norwich] and we have to find a way to get a result in that match," Leeds boss Marsch said after the Villa defeat. "The team is in a fantastic place and the mood is good, but we have to remain cautious and keep resetting ourselves.
