Huge opportunity for Leeds United youngsters to take big step forward and Whites goals chance
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds United's under-21s moved top of Premier League Two Division Two with a 2-1 victory at promotion-chasing rivals Southampton at the end of last month but Nottingham Forest have since moved level on points with the Whites.
Forest took a goalless draw from last Monday night's hosting of West Brom and then recorded a 3-0 victory at Southampton on Friday night. Leeds and Forest both have 32 points, two more than third-placed Southampton, but the Whites have a game in hand on both sides. That game in hand effectively presents itself at York City’s ground this evening with a home clash against bottom of the table Derby County who have taken just one point from their 13 games so far.

Paco Gallardo’s Whites outfit would go three points clear at the top of the pile with a victory with only four more games left after tonight. This evening's contest is a 7pm kick-off at the LNER Community Stadium in York.
