Follow all the action as Leeds United host Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon. 

Marcelo Biela’s side enjoyed a promising start on their return to the top flight, however, back-to-back defeats prior to the international break served a reminder of the challenges to come. Ten points from eight games is hardly disastrous, though, and in Patrick Bamford Leeds boast one of England’s most prolific strikers on current form.

For all Mikel Arteta’s sweeping changes at Arsenal, they are still a side afflicted by wild swings of inconsistency. Their fabulous victory over Manchester United sent spirits sky-rocketing but a horrendous thrashing by Aston Villa proved why Arsenal remain very much a work in progress. They begin the game in 14th place and need a strong series of results to bolster their top four credentials. Follow all the action below live:

Liverpool 3 - 0 Leicester

90+4 mins: Full time. It’s been a stellar performance from Liverpool but Leicester brought a lot of it on themselves. They were pretty defensive preferring long balls to playing through the middle. The Foxes never truly worked Liverpool’s makeshift backline and they invited all the pressure onto themselves. Goals from Jota and Firmino were welcome after Jonny Evans’ own goal gave the Reds the opener.

Liverpool 3 - 0 Leicester

90 mins: Vardy wins a corner for Leicester and Maddison sends it at Fofana. He wins the header but puts it over the crossbar. 

Jota and Mane are off for Liverpool. Minamino and Origi come on. Four added minutes to play.

Liverpool 2 - 0 Leicester

81 mins: Maddison has a shot blocked from inside the box and Liverpool somehow break on the counter attack. Jots plays Mane into the box and he goes for power forcing Schmeichel into another save. The rebound doesn’t quite fall for Firmino and Leicester clear the danger.
