    Brentford 0-0 Leeds

    Pontus Jansson again to the rescue for Leeds.

    The two times that Brentford have had the merest sight of goal, the big Swede has been across to block efforts from Neal Maupay.

    If Leeds don't go on to win this game (which is still very much in the balance), I reckon we'll be hearing a lot more about that penalty shout.

    Leeds, who need to win to keep pace with second-placed Sheffield United after the Blades won earlier today, are building pressure.

    Brentford 0-0 Leeds

    How on earth is that not a penalty kick?

    Referee Keith Stroud has a clear view of Brentford defender Julian Jeanvier tripping Patrick Bamford, but he waves it away.

    I'm stunned.

    Brentford 0-0 Leeds

    Brentford have their best moment of the match as a neat move sets Neal Maupay away.

    On the ball 20 yards out, he tries to cut back onto his stronger right foot, but Pontus Jansson makes a timely interception.

    Brentford 0-0 Leeds

    Anxious faces in Leeds shirts as Ezgjan Alioski and Liam Cooper both appear to be in difficulty.

    Stuart Dallas is coming on for Alioski at left-back, but centre-back Cooper looks ok to continue for now.

    Brentford 0-0 Leeds

    Brentford have won only one of their past eight games, a run that's seen them slip out of promotion contention, but they can be a match for any Championship team on their day and especially so at Griffin Park.

    Of their 14 league wins, 12 have come on home soil.

    Sergi Canos tries his luck from long range but it sails into the top tier of the away end.

    Leeds go through again but waste the chance.

    Tyler Roberts is played in by Patrick Bamford, but a heavy first touch allows Brentford goalkeeper Luke Daniels to collect the ball just inside his penalty area.

    Leeds need only a couple of minutes to force the first opening, but Patrick Bamford is off target with his shot from 12 yards.

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa cut a calm figure before kick-off, reading through the programme and some notes on his trusty blue bucket in the tunnel at Griffin Park.

    After Friday's slip-up at home to Wigan and Sheffield United's win earlier today, his players need to deliver for him today.

    The two teams are on their way out onto the field in west London.

    Norwich can't be promoted today after drawing at Stoke. Leeds will draw level with Sheffield United if they beat Brentford at 17:15 BST.

    Middlesbrough and Bristol City both lost, meaning Derby's last-gasp win over QPR is enough to send them up to sixth in the table.

    It's all over now! At one end, there's a scramble in the box and QPR nearly equalise, but Derby boot it clear and they break... And after a swift counter, Harry Wilson wraps up the points.

    What a finish to this game.

    Derby 1-0 QPR

    Nine minutes of added time were initially signalled at Pride Park and we've had nine now, but more time may yet be added on for the penalty that Derby scored five minutes ago.

    QPR have a free-kick in a dangerous position...
