Minute-by-minute updates from the 1.30pm BST kick-offWest Brom suffer promotion blow at BlackburnContact Will on email or Twitter 1.03pm BST JR, also in America, emails to say: “Hey Will,“No pressure or anything but I’m counting on you to do a very good job describing the action in this game because I can’t watch it. Not because I have something else to do but because for some reason here in the U.S. they have decided to show Stoke v Birmingham instead of this game.“I don’t mind watching a good relegation scrap on occasion, and sometimes even prefer one to a game with better teams, but this is not one of those occasions.” 1.00pm BST James, from New York, messages to say: “If we go behind I may lose it.”Certainly an early start in the Big Apple, so a defeat will really ruin the day. 12.55pm BST For more Welsh football content, here is Ben Fisher speaking exclusively to Ryan Giggs about all things international football. 12.54pm BST As well as the fun at the top, there is an important early kick-off at the bottom in the Championship as Stoke host Birmingham.

The defender spent his entire playing career at Elland Road.Kevin Mitchell remembers him.

A Leeds win would see them move five points clear of third-placed Brentford with just three matches to be played. Surely they would not be caught from that position. Continue readingreadfullarticle
