Will Unwin is on point for the Guardian at Elland Road this afternoon. Allow him to set the scene.
The sun is still shining above Elland Road, where Leeds are boosted by the news that Erling Haaland will not feature against his hometown club. He is “not fully fit” after suffering an injury in training two days ago and that is all we know.
City have won their past three games as they try to chase down Arsenal at the top of the table. Victory today will put the gap down to two points prior to the Gunners facing Chelsea tomorrow, in what could be a very difficult afternoon for them. Omar Marmoush and Antoine Semenyo will likely play as wide forwards, giving Leeds a very different prospect to what they were planning for. It could be a fascinating battle.
