Leeds United Under-21s make the trip to Wearside on Monday evening as they face Sunderland Under-21s in the Premier League 2.

The Whites will be keen to recapture their best form after falling to defeat against West Ham United last time out, despite Ollie Pickles’ second-half strike.

Prior to that meeting at the LNER Community Stadium, Scott Gardner’s side showed great spirit to battle back from two goals down away from home to draw with Chelsea.

Behind at Cobham, versatile full-back Freddie Lane got United back in the clash, latching onto an audacious Jayden Lienou pass, before Rhys Chadwick’s emphatic finish drew Leeds level.

United sit six points adrift of Monday’s hosts, who most recently edged past Crystal Palace in the PL2, courtesy of Charlie Dinsdale’s winner.

The Black Cats head into the encounter in strong form having, including victory over the Eagles, won their last five league encounters.

Action from the Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground gets underway at 7pm.

Supporter information:

Tickets are priced at £3 for adults, £1 for Over-65s and £1 for Under-22s. The full address is Welfare Rd, Hetton-le-Hole, Houghton le Spring, DH5 9NA.
