Leeds United under-21s v Everton under-21s: Game postponed after pitch inspection
Leeds United’s under-21s face Everton’s under-21s this evening as the spotlight falls on returning Whites players.
United’s under-21s have not played since being edged out 1-0 at runaway league leaders Tottenham Hotspur on December 18 but now finally return to action with a 7pm kick-off against the young Toffees at the LNER Community Stadium in York.
The turn of the year has seen young Whites pair Sonny Perkins and Jack Jenkins return to Leeds following loan spells at Oxford United and Scunthorpe United respectively. There will be no Darko Gyabi for Leeds who has joined Plymouth Argyle on loan for the rest of the season.
Kris Moore has also been away on trial with Hibernian on the club's winter training camp in Dubai and played in a friendly on Friday against Servette. Leeds sit 18th in the 26-team division Premier League Two table, two points ahead of Everton who are fourth-bottom and have played a game more. Leeds could go as high as 12th with a victory.
