U21s Team News: Crystal Palace vs Leeds United | OneFootball

Leeds United Under-21s will be looking for a third Premier League 2 victory from four matches this evening as they face Crystal Palace Under-21s at the VBS Community Stadium.

Ahead of the clash in London, Whites boss Scott Gardner has made three changes to the side that convincingly beat Scunthorpe United last time out in the National League Cup.

Louis-Enahoro Marcus, Alfie Cresswell and Harry Gray all miss out and are replaced by Louie Dudley, Harvey Vincent and Devon Brockie.

Rory Mahady maintains his position in goal, behind a defence of Dudley, Reuben Lopata-White, Jonny Howson and Jayden Lienou.

A change to the midfield sees Ollie Pickles deployed in a deeper role as he captains the team for the first time, alongside Connor Douglas and Rhys Chadwick.

Vincent starts the encounter from the right-flank, with left winger Josh McDonald also providing support for lone striker Brockie.

Keeper Darryl Ombang settles for a place on the bench, as well as U18s regulars Logan White, Lewis Pirie, Jacob Render and Will Firth.

Starting XI: Mahady (GK), Dudley, Lienou, Pickles (C), Lopata-White, Howson, Vincent, Douglas, Brockie, Chadwick, McDonald.

Subs: Ombang (GK), White, Pirie, Render, Firth.

Palace: Lee (GK), Grante, Fasida, Jemide, Browne, Reid, Drakes-Thomas (C), Rodney, Marsh, Nascimento, Esse.

Subs: Casey, Walker-Smith, Williams, Dashi, Whyte.
