KICK OFF! Leeds get us up and running.

DID YOU KNOW? Leeds have won eight games at the season's halfway stage. That’s the same number they won in the whole of their previous top-flight campaign in 2003-04. Can they make it nine this afternoon? We're about to find out! The players are in the tunnel and kick off is in five!

If it’s to be Leeds’ day, they may well need it to be a big afternoon for Patrick Bamford. The Whites’ leading marksman has 10 goals in the PL so far this term, but hasn’t netted in four league outings. He does like an away-day though, having plundered seven of his 10 on the road.

We're now into the business end of the January transfer window. Will your team buy and/or sell? Reports are suggesting Leicester have agreed to let Demarai Gray go to Bayer Leverkusen, while the Foxes are rumoured to want Watford's Nathaniel Chalobah. As we countdown to the action ON the pitch, why not quickly catch up on the rest of the Sunday gossip via today's Paper Round?

FOXES FACT: Leicester are nine matches unbeaten in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Bielsa has had his say on Frank Lampard’s sacking at Chelsea: Lampard built one of the best groups in English football — the whole world — and evidently that group needed development and time. I regret that a colleague who has designed a very interesting project wasn’t able to finish it. English football, which had been a leader in the world in allowing managers time to develop their projects, has stopped doing so. Every time [it happens], it has less of the English spirit and is owned less by the English — things which made it very attractive.”

Timothy Castagne: “We know it's going to be a tough one. We did well in the first game but it's going to be different this time. We just have to play this game like any other one, be ready, start from the first minute and then, if we play our game and don't let them play their game, then it could be a win for us.”

Ezgjan Alioski: “Vardy’s a very important player in the (Leicester) team, but they have other players that are strong. They're also a good team together and they have good players in the middle. You see from their results before, and the table, if they don’t have quality, they're not going there (high in the table).”

Brendan Rodgers on Leeds: “They've been outstanding. I'm a huge admirer of the coach. Marcelo Bielsa's teams always play an exciting brand of football, and it's a style you don't usually see in the Premier League. I'm a big admirer of Bielsa and the job he has done.”

Leicester make the one enforced change to the team that drew at Everton last time out. Nampalys Mendy comes in for the injured Wilfred Ndidi, while Ayoze Perez leads the line in the continued absence of Jamie Vardy.
