Leeds United U21s fixtures announced as Whites youngsters kick season off with Derby County trip

Leeds United U21s are set to kick off their Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign with a trip to Pride Park to face Derby County. Following relegation last season, the Whites youngsters will be looking to kick start another push for promotion, just as they did two years ago.

Leeds – who are still yet to appoint an U21s manager ahead of the new season – will then face Norwich City in their first home game. Other key dates include hosting Newcastle United on November 7, the final match before the club campaign takes a two-month break for the World Cup.

The season then gets back underway with a trip to Nottingham Forest on January 9, with the young Whites rounding off the year with a home match against Middlesbrough on April 24. As it stands, Leeds will play three games at Elland Road across the campaign against Southampton, Aston Villa and Sunderland.
