A journey to Hampshire awaits Leeds United Under-21s, who continue their Premier League 2 campaign on Friday evening with a trip to face Southampton Under-21s.

Scott Gardner’s side will be keen to build on an impressive display against Tottenham at the start of the week, which saw the Whites pick up an important and well-deserved victory.

Deadlocked going into the second half, attacking midfielder Rhys Chadwick was well placed to drill a Jayden Lienou cross home 15 minutes from time to separate the two sides.

Australian youth international Robbie Cook made his debut for United’s U21s in that fixture and starred in York, making a number of saves to help earn a clean sheet.

That result over Spurs propelled the Whites up three positions in the PL2 standings, having collected 18 points from 17 encounters.

Friday’s opposition Southampton sit seventh in the league, though did lose their previous game 2-1 away to Manchester United.

Prior to that encounter at Carrington, Saints had beaten Nottingham Forest by the same scoreline in Loughborough thanks to goals either side of the break from Nicholas Oyekunle and Sufianu Sillah Dibaga.

Action from the Silverlake Stadium gets underway at 7pm.
