Mark Jackson's young Whites have not played since recording a 3-0 victory against league visitors Liverpool way back on February 7.

United's under-23s then saw three games postponed due to the influx of storms that hit the country, a league trip to Brighton and the Premier League Cup clash away at Mansfield Town falling by the wayside.

The game against the Stags was called off twice.

Key Events

  • 7pm kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Good defending by Mullen

24: Ushers the ball behind for a goal kick under pressure in his box, good defending

28: From McCarron near his byline. Bill would have been proud of that one

29: Save from Klaeson to keep out a Bennett effort from the edge of the box, quite a good game this amidst the huge backdrop of Marsch’s appointment as head coach

30: Bennett booked for pulling back Bate on halfway, no arguments with that one

Another yellow card

32: For McKinstry for a late challenge, didn’t really look worth a booking but out came a card

More good defending from Mullen

36: Calm as he mops up at the back and clears

41: Two fine challenges from first Mullen and then Kenneh as Spurs press

CHANCE LEEDS - CLOSE

44: Corner headed just wide by Kenneh- deja vu from earlier - very close.

It’s 0-0 at the break, somehow, two fine chances each for Dean and Kenneh after earlier good chances for Spurs

Players back out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Greenwood is still with us
