Leeds United 1-3 Leicester - U23s recap: Whites beaten by Foxes in Premier League 2 clash

Warm-ups for both teams well underway this evening. Leeds could do with a victory, let’s hope it comes.

Two big names that have been missing from the Under-23s line-up in recent weeks - they both start this evening.

Jamie Shackleton has also been given a spot on the bench, he should get some minutes this evening.

23s v Leicester: Van Den Heuvel, Drameh, McCarron, Cresswell, Kenneh, Moore, Summerville, Bate, Greenwood, McKinstry, Gelhardt.

Subs: Klaesson, Shackleton, Jenkins, McGurk. Gray.

Marcelo Bielsa ruled out Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling of minutes this evening after the pair featured against Manchester City on Monday.

With the first team duo set for Brentford involvement on Sunday in the Premier League, it should allow the likes of Joe Gelhardt, Crysencio Summerville and Charlie Cresswell to feature this evening.

Leo Hjelde limped off last time out and is a doubt tonight. Sam Greenwood should feature after two goals on Monday across the Pennines in a 3-2 defeat.

Leeds - who haven’t won in eight league games - are 12 in the top flight of the PL2 standings.

United are one point above Blackburn and two points above Derby who sit in the two-place drop zone.

Leicester are a spot above Leeds ahead of kick-off and are one point better off with a game in hand over Mark Jackson’s men.

Tonight would be a good time to get back to winning ways for Leeds who have been badly effected at development level by the recent first team injury crisis.

Hello and welcome to tonight’s live blog from the York Community stadium.

Leeds United host Leicester City in the Premier League 2 this evening and will be looking to end an eight game winless run in the division.
