Leeds United U21s will be in action this evening as they take on Derby County U21s at York’s LNER Community Stadium. The Whites have rediscovered some Premier League 2 Division 2 form over the last couple of weeks and they’ll be looking to consolidate their place at the top of the table with a win over the Rams.
Paco Gallardo’s side currently lead the division on goal difference, but they’ll move three points clear of nearest rivals Nottingham Forest should they pick up the points against lowly Derby. The East Midlands outfit prop up the division after failing to win a league game all season and they have just one point to show for their efforts.
United will be heavy favourites in York, then, and we can expect to see Gallardo name a strong side as he takes charge of his second U21s contest, with Archie Gray ready to make his first appearance since September. Gray has struggled with injury this season, fracturing his toe in an accident at home before an ankle issue saw him ruled out for a sustained period.
