Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup first-round, second-leg match from Lyon France.

Manager Roy Hodgson 's men need to reverse the poor scoring record that has seen them struggle to keep up with the early-season pace in the FA Premiership, especially as they can expect to face a defensive Olympique Lyonnais side eager to preserve their vital away goal scored at Ewood Park a fortnight ago.

3rd November 1998: Uefa Cup: Leeds United v AS Roma

Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup second-round, second-leg match from Elland Road. Leeds battled hard in the first leg at Rome's Olympic stadium to come away defeated by the only goal of the game, a 17th minute strike by Roma's Marco Delvecchio , and were unlucky not to earn at least a draw after hitting the post twice. Their performance was made all the more impressive considering the club's recent managerial difficulties, a Uefa touchline ban for caretaker-boss David O'Leary and the second-half sending off of midfielder Bruno Ribeiro. A similar display will be needed to reverse the deficit against Roma's multi-national squad.

Coverage of tonight's Uefa Cup third-round, first-leg match from Balaidos Stadium in Spain.

Now the Reds face a tricky away match against another Spanish side, Celta Vigo, the team that knocked out Aston Villa in the last round and who have made a very strong start in their domestic league.
