Michael Skubala has made six changes to his Leeds United Under-21s side to take on Aston Villa this evening. The Whites will be looking to continue their fine start to their Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign by picking up three points at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training ground.
Harvey Sutcliffe and Kris Moore return to Leeds’ defensive line that also features Jeremiah Mullen and Keenan Carole, with Cody Drameh and Leo Hjelde set to be named in the first-team squad this weekend against Chelsea. Adam Forshaw, Sam Greenwood, Mateusz Klich and Crysencio Summerville have also made the move back up to the senior squad this weekend.
As such, Kris Moore and Jack Jenkins start in the middle of the park, while Darko Gyabi returns to the starting line-up, too, after playing 45 minutes for Leeds against Norwich City on Monday. Archie Gray is involved from the start and looks set to be involved in a wide position.
