U21 CUP PREVIEW | Leeds United v Charlton

'

Charlton's U21s return to Premier League Cup action on Friday night with a trip to the LNER Community Stadium to face Leeds United. (KO 7pm GMT).

The young Addicks head north on the back of a goalless draw against Bristol City at Ashton Gate in midweek in Professional Development League 2 - South.

Chris Lock's side currently sit top of Premier League Cup group H having taken four points from their opening two ties. 

Meanwhile, Leeds, who sit second having played one more game than Charlton, were condemned to defeat in their previous Premier League Cup encounter as Birmingham City halted their late comeback, running out 3-2 victors at the Arden Garages Stadium.

Charlton and Leeds last met back in September at The Valley as Ryan Huke’s 13th-minute strike levelled the scoring early on as the spoils were shared in SE7.
