Our under-21s take on Leeds United at 12.30pm (UK time) on Sunday as we look to continue the momentum after securing our first win of 2026 last time out.
Max Porter's team got the better of a stubborn Burnley side thanks to Brando Bailey-Joseph's stunning solo effort in the second half and a superb defensive effort to secure a 1-0 victory.
With last weekend's win, we now sit just one point outside the play-off places in the Premier League 2, having played a game less than the four sides directly above us.
### the opposition
Results have been up and down for the Whites this season, who come into Sunday's contest a point behind us having played a game more.
2026 has got off to a difficult start for Leeds; after beating Reading 2-0 in their first game of the year, the Yorkshire side have lost three consecutive games, scoring just one goal in the process. One of those defeats was a 3-0 loss at home to Anderlecht in the Premier League International Cup, which brought the Whites' run in the competition to an end.
Harry Gray has been the main threat for the hosts this season, scoring six goals in just seven Premier League 2 appearances, but he has joined Rotherham United on loan.
