U21s Preview: Leeds United vs Aston Villa

Premier League 2 play-off action at Elland Road.

Leeds United Under-21s are in action at Elland Road on Monday evening (7pm), facing Aston Villa Under-21s in the end of season play-offs.

The winners of this tie will progress to the final, where they will face either West Bromwich Albion Under-21s or Nottingham Forest Under-21s. That clash is also taking place on Monday evening, getting underway at the same time. 

The Whites missed out on promotion to Division 1 on the final day of the Division 2 season. Just a point was needed away at West Brom, but following defeat, Southampton were crowned champions and claimed the title after on goal-difference by just two goals. 

Villa had a battle to make the play-offs but did so well, securing three wins in their final five matches to take 5th spot, finishing three points above 6th placed Norwich City. 



Paco Gallardo’s side have done the double over their upcoming visitors this season, with a 2-1 win away from home followed up with another 2-1 win, this one at Elland Road, in close games between the two teams. 

Another closely fought battle is expected in this encounter, which is a one-off knock-out match to be settled on the day.
