Leeds United under-21s v Derby County under-21s live: Updates and analysis, big Whites chance
and live on Freeview channel 276
Scott Gardner’s side have not played since falling to a 4-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend, a result which left them bottom of the 26-team Premier League Two table after 16 games played. Leeds, though, now have the chance to climb the ladder with this afternoon’s visit of Derby who themselves are second-bottom, just two points ahead of the Whites who also have a game in hand.
Leeds have games in hand on the six teams above them and victory against Derby would also take Gardner’s side level on points with third-bottom Leicester City who are three points ahead of United but also having played two games more. Here, we will bring you team news as soon as it lands followed by updates and analysis from the 1pm kick-off at Thorp Arch which presents the fourth-last league game of the season for the young Whites.

Chance Derby, good save
12: By Van den Heuvel, low shot through a crowded box from Weston tipped away, good reactions
Almost from Leeds
16: A decent break and Charlie Allen is played in down the right and is away but flagged offside.
Long-range effort
16: From Thomas, tries one from distance, attempting to use the wind with keeper off his line but wide.
Half a chance Leeds
21: Allen pokes a shot wide arriving at the far post to a decent delivery from Godden from the left
Clinical from Leeds
22: A Derby mess as they give the ball away to Thomas who is able to run at the defence down the right, cool head as he cuts inside and squares to Snowdon who is arriving on the scene - could have gone for goal himself - smart finish from Snowdon who tucks the ball home from just inside the box. Snowdon has been decent.
