Leeds United U21s return to action this evening as they take on West Bromwich Albion at York’s LNER Community Stadium. Michael Skubala’s Whites will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after suffering their first league defeat of the season last time out at Nottingham Forest.
The Whites sat six points clear going into that game with Forest, but Southampton’s wins over Derby County and Newcastle United mean United are now second in the Premier League 2 Division 2 table. A result tonight will see them reclaim top spot, though, and they’ll fancy their chances against the Baggies, who currently sit in fifth.
With Jesse Marsch expected to make a few first-team changes for the FA Cup replay against Cardiff City, it’s hard to know who will be available for the U21s this evening, but we’re still expecting a strong line-up. Kristoffer Klaesson seems to be comfortably behind Joel Robles and Illan Meslier in the pecking order at present and therefore he could pick up some minutes this evening in York.
