Leeds United Under-21s are just two wins away from winning promotion back to the top flight of English youth football. After almost a month without a fixture, Leeds return to action on Monday night as they travel to face their Stoke City counterparts at Nantwich Town’s Weaver Stadium and they know a result would be enough to see them take a significant stride towards the Premier League 2 Division 2 title.
United sit second in the table after seeing Southampton leapfrog them with a win over the Potters in their penultimate fixture on Friday night. However, Paco Gallardo’s side currently have a couple of games in hand over the Saints and as the season approaches its climax, seeing off Stoke would take them back to the summit and to within just two points of promotion with two matches still to play.
It’s been a memorable season for the U21s so far and as it stands they are assured of at least at a play-off place. However, they’ve had their eyes set on the title since being relegated from Division 1 last season and it seems they are on the cusp of achieving that goal.
