Leeds United Under-21s return to Premier League International Cup duties this evening as they entertain Athletic Club B in York.
Looking for a second win in as many matches in the competition, boss Scott Gardner has made three changes to the side that faced Fleetwood Town in the Vertu Trophy last time out.
Goalkeeper Darryl Ombang remains between the posts, behind a defence that sees two alterations as mentor Jonny Howson partners U18s regular Jacob Howard at centre-back, with Connor Douglas and Will Firth providing support from the flanks.
Ollie Pickles and skipper Alfie Cresswell sit in the heart of midfield behind Devon Brockie, whilst attacking trio Harvey Vincent, Jacob Render and Josh McDonald lead the line.
On a youthful bench, U18s players Robbie Cook, Loui Whithead, Louie Philpott and Logan White are joined by Louie Dudley.
Starting XI: Ombang (GK), Douglas, Firth, Pickles, Howard, Howson, Vincent, Cresswell (C), Render, Brockie, McDonald.
Subs: Cook (GK), Whitehead, Philpott, Dudley, White.
Athletic Club: Gallastegi, Liceaga, El Arbaoui, Martínez, Carril, Iturria, Oyharçabal, Encinas, Camilo, García (C), Cobos.
Subs: Tasio (GK), Torres, Álvarez, Urrestarazu, Recari, Cueva, Goyogana.
