The Whites take on Tottenham Hotspur at Thorp Arch in the Premier League 2.

Mark Jackson's side defeat Crystal Palace in the first game of the 2021/22 campaign last week at Selhurst Park.

United will now take on Spurs in what is expected to be a strong test against last year's third-placed PL2 outift.

Leeds - who were promoted to the top tier of England's academy structure earlier in the summer - will be hoping they can produce a positive result as a newly-promoted side.

Leeds has lost their sting

79. That fourth goal has knocked the stuffing out of Leeds. They’re struggling to muster any dangerous attacks now. Lots of free-kicks halting the play.

77. Dangerous ball into the back post. Klaesson gets down well to it and keeps it out.

Spurs pressure

75. Spurs have Leeds penned in now. A succession of free-kicks. Kenneh heads the last one behind and it’s a corner ball.

Spurs add a fourth

72. Spurs attack and the ball breaks to John. He fires a lovely finish in off the post from distance. Good hit. Leeds have had a lot of chances but that might be the killer blow.

LEEDS CHANCE

69. How has that not gone in? Summerville leaves his man for dead and drives to the byline. Joffy gets in front of his defender... he shoots low but it’s saved well. Greenwood tries to follow up the loose ball but it’s smothered.

Spurs change

65. Clarke off - his return is over - Mundle is on for the visitors.

Mon, 23 Aug, 2021, 17:28 BST

Leeds attack

64. More pressure from Leeds... Bate, Drameh and Greenwood all link up well. Miller tries to deliver after working the chance to cross on the near side but he loses his footing.

Moore booked

63. Spurs finally break with Leeds committed. Moore takes out his man in a panic - it’s one for the team - yellow card and a free-kick right on the edge of the box.
