Leicester vs Leeds LIVE commentary: Barnes gives Foxes lead as Patrick Bamford on bench – New Whites boss Jesse Marsch looks to make instant impact in Premier League

Leeds United and their new manager Jesse Marsch are set to face off against Leicester City in Saturday's early Premier League clash and it is live on talkSPORT.

Marcelo Bielsa departed Elland Road after the Whites' 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur that left them two points above the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers' side have had an average season compared to recent years and any hopes of qualifying for European football via the league are fading fast.

The hosts have only won two of their last seven league games and are currently 12 points off Spurs in seventh.

Therefore, this is a huge game for both Rodgers and Marsch as Leeds and Leicester look to save their respective seasons.

These two played out a 1-1 draw in November at Elland Road with Raphinha and Harvey Barnes on the scoresheet.

Leeds have struggled recently, but they have been boosted with the return of top striker Patrick Bamford to the bench after a long injury layoff.

“It’s still going to be played on grass with two goals at each side, so we’ll be looking to go and get three points at home in a game like that, definitely.”
