Leeds United’s youngsters face a huge night at the Etihad Stadium tonight, taking on Manchester City’s under-18s in the final of the FA Youth Cup.
Leeds have made it to the competition’s final for the third time in the club’s history, 27 years on from beating Crystal Palace in the final of 1997. Four years earlier, the young Whites beat a Manchester United team that featured David Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs to lift the trophy in 1993. Thirty one years on, the blue half of Manchester now stands in the way of a Whites club treble.
Here, upon landing at the Etihad, we will bring you all of the early team news and pre-match build-up to the 7pm kick-off before match updates and analysis. Harry Gray, younger brother of Whites star Archie, will not feature this evening, the 15-year striker ruled out due to being too young as part of competition age boundaries.
