Mateo Joseph is confident the Elland Road crowd will play a 'big part' as Leeds United under-21s look for a playoff final victory over Nottingham Forest. The Whites' academy team will host Nottingham Forest on Monday night, hoping to secure an instant return to Premier League 2 Division 1.
Leeds U21s booked their place in the final with a 2-1 comeback victory over their Aston Villa counterparts at Elland Road. Goals from Joseph and Sonny Perkins were enough to ensure Paco Gallardo's side will now face Forest, who earned an impressive 3-0 knockout victory over West Brom.
Joseph accepts Monday's upcoming encounter is the academy team's 'most important game of the season', and hailed the team's character in the semi-final success over Villa. The young forward also had praise for the club's supporters, and hopes they can play a similar role in the final against Forest.
