Leeds United Under21s have a chance to book their spot in the Premier League Cup semifinals as they welcome Chelsea Under21s to the LNER Community Stadium. Scott Gardner's side go into the clash after beating AFC Bournemouth in dramatic fashion, coming from behind to progress with Sonny Perkins' injurytime winner. The match promises familiar opposition for United, as they have already faced Chelsea in both group stage matches and league action this season.

In their previous encounter at Kingsmeadow, Leeds put up a spirited performance resulting in an impressive 33 draw thanks to goals from Charlie Allen, Marley Wilson, and Luca Thomas. However, when playing on home soil last month during Premier League duties, it was Chelsea who narrowly scraped past them at Thorp Arch.

Chelsea topped Group D before setting up a Round of 16 tie with Norwich City where Brazilian Deivid Washington scored late securing them a hardfought victory of 32. On another note regarding standings within Premier League Division Two table; Mark Robinson's team currently sits seventh having achieved three wins out of five including an emphatic away success over Newcastle United by scoring seven goals while conceding just one goal.
