Leeds United Under-21s get their Papa John’s Trophy campaign underway this evening as they take on League Two Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park. The Whites will play three games in the competition over the next few weeks with trips to Bolton Wanderers and Crew Alexandra on the schedule, too, as they aim to progress through Group B and into the knockout stages.
Michael Skubala is expected to have a strong team to choose from tonight, with Jesse Marsch suggesting that Joe Gelhardt could be involved. Gelhardt hasn’t had a minute of game time since the 5-2 loss to Brentford in September and was overlooked for selection on Sunday.
As such, the 20-year-old could be involved, alongside a number of other more senior names, as Leeds look to make the most of the fixture. With that in mind, here’s how the U21s could line-up tonight.
