Cody Drameh, Sonny Perkins, Darko Gyabi and Mateo Joseph have all dropped back down to play for Leeds United’s U21s against West Bromwich Albion this evening. The quartet were all involved for the first-team against Cardiff City in the FA Cup earlier this month but they’ll be keen to help the Whites return to winning ways this evening.
All four players could be involved when the Bluebirds head to Elland Road on Wednesday night and their game time could be managed with that match in mind by Michael Skubala. Gyabi was the only one of the four to start in South Wales, but Perkins was the man to save Leeds from humiliation, popping up to poke home the winner in the dying minutes.
Michael Skubala’s side were beaten last time out, losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, but he’s picked a side that he feels will be capable of regaining top spot in the Premier League 2 Division 2 table. Kristoffer Klaesson starts between the sticks, while James Debayo comes into the side in place of Leo Hjelde who has joined Championship outfit Rotherham United on loan.

Leeds: Kristoffer Klaesson; Cody Drameh, James Debayo, Jeremiah Mullen, Kris Moore; Darko Gyabi, Charlie Crew; Charlie Allen, Sonny Perkins, Sean McGurk; Mateo Joseph.
Bench: Dani Van den Heuvel, Max McFadden, Cian Coleman, Marley Wilson, Morten Spencer.
