Underway!

Teams out

In sunshine but windy sunshine at Elland Road.

Cheers

Only a few but cheers nonetheless from a few home fans for Archie Gray as Spurs team is read out. Applause then as he takes his seat on the bench.

All set at Elland Road

Warm ups done. Tottenham are marginal favourites, just. 13-8 Spurs but 7-4 Leeds. 5-2 the draw. Given their midweek exertions and injuries, this appears as good a time as any to face Thomas Frank’s side. Prediction: 1-1 - from myself and also chief reporter Graham Smyth. That’s fav in the correct score market too.

Warm-ups underway

Archie Gray one of the first out for Spurs, with a spring in his step, Ampadu then leads out the Whites. The sun is even coming out, still windy though.

The weather

Not too bad all things considered, very strong gusts of wind mainly at up to 52mph and showers on and off, but they are forecast to clear up. We might even get some sunshine later. But the wind is here to stay and that’s making it feel several degrees colder than it is - about ten degrees but real feel six. So wrap up. Game will be an interesting watch in this wind.

The railings have had it

Looking good despite the weather
