Leeds’ Under-21 side resume their Premier League 2 campaign this afternoon at home to Sunderland as they look to hang onto top spot

The young Whites are expected to name a strong starting XI against Sunderland afternoon, featuring Mateo Joseph, Darko Gyabi, Sonny Perkins and Jeremiah Mullen, as they aim to retain their grip on 1st place in PL2 Division 2.

Leeds’ fixture on Monday evening away to West Bromwich Albion was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, leaving members of the Division 2 chasing pack to gain ground on United before Paco Gallardo’s side’s next game.

Leeds United U21s 3-1 Sunderland U21s highlights

72’ Joe Anderson falls to the floor holding his face. Sunderland man manages to get Charlie Allen booked as a result.

67' Gyabi on the turf clutching his leg. Stayed down since being dispossessed by a strong tackle. Now receiving treatment.

63’ Ball ricochets around Leeds’ penalty area at a Sunderland corner before being blazed over the top by Gardiner. Leeds needing a third.

60’ Archie Gray booked. Probably fair.

57’ Robles saves Lihadji’s tame effort. On target, mind.

Now that’s what I call a midfielder

51' Really good defending by Monteiro. Plays the initial crossfield pass to Snowdon with pinpoint accuracy, then after the Leeds midfielder loses out, tidies up as the last man with Sunderland coming forward.

46’ Second half underway
