Leeds arrive at the LNER - looking like a very young side again, as to be expected
Team news
Will be with us at 6pm but no sign of any big hitters such as Patrick Bamford. Looks like a young side again, as is to be expected when you consider Leeds had 11 players out injured by the time yesterday’s Premier League clash at West Ham concluded. That, clearly, has a big impact on the under-23s who then in turn look to the under-18s. The young Whites will be looking to build on Friday’s 2-1 victory against in the Premier League Cup. One look at the table tells you how important it is that Leeds now bag a league win.
Leeds team is in
Leeds United under-23s v Derby: Klaesson, Sutcliffe, McCarron, Jenkins, Mullen, Littlewood, McKinstry, Allen, Dean, McGurk, Miller.
