U18 PREVIEW: Leeds United v Burnley
Young Clarets return to action against Leeds United
2021-03-12T14:30:00.000Z
Tony Philliskirk's side return to U18 Northern Premier League action on Saturday, as the Clarets travel to Leeds United.
The youth team, who will play their FA Youth Cup third-round tie with AFC Wimbeldon next week, had a free weekend last week, with no fixture scheduled, but won 4-0 in their previous outing, in an impressive victory over Sunderland.
Philliskirk's side will be looking for another win this weekend, against a United side, who currently sit bottom of the table.
And a victory in West Yorkshire on Saturday, would see the Clarets move to fifth in the table, depending on Everton, Derby and Middlesbrough's results.
Leeds have just one win in their previous 13 league matches and have lost five of their six home games this season.
The last time the two sides met was in October, when a Sam Unwin hat-trick secured all three points in a 3-1 win at Leyland.
Unwin could be unavaliable this time round though, after helping Steve Stone's side to victory on Friday afternoon at Aston Villa.
But forward Michael Mellon, who grabbed a hat-trick and an assist in his last outing, could feature again for Philliskirk's side up-front.
The game at Leeds' Thorp Arch training base, will have live updates avaliable, followed by a full match report.
