Crewe Alexandra 0-0 Leeds United U21 (2-1 on pens) highlights: Youngsters knocked out of Papa John's Trophy

Leeds’ youngsters are on the cusp of making it through to the knockout stage of the EFL Trophy for the first time as a junior outfit tonight. They face Crewe Alexandra in their final Northern Section Group B fixture knowing victory will guarantee progression.

The young Whites are expected to name a strong XI for the trip to the Alexandra Stadium, featuring several members who travelled – and featured – in the senior team’s stunning 2-1 win over Liverpool last weekend.

Leeds have, thus far, won one and lost one in the Papa John’s Trophy this season, beating Tranmere Rovers 5-3 at Prenton Park, before falling to a 3-0 defeat against an experienced Bolton Wanderers side.

League Two outfit Crewe are on an eight-game winless run in all competitions and currently sit in the bottom of half of English football’s fourth tier.
