Leeds United U23 could have surged to the summit of the Premier League 2 Division 1 table last Friday with a win at home to Blackburn Rovers.
However, a last-minute Kristoffer Klaesson spillage denied the junior Whites all three points from a pulsating fixture.
This time around, fresh from a stellar midweek display in the Papa John’s Trophy, all eyes will be on summer signing Lewis Bate.
The teenage midfielder joined for a reported seven-figure fee from Chelsea’s academy and has settled well into the Leeds side, nominally at the base of Mark Jackson’s midfield setup.
Tonight’s opponents Leicester City U23 are ninth in the Division 1 standings, with one win in five matches.
Comparatively, Leeds remain fourth in the table with three victories and just one defeat from six outings.
