Yahoo Movies Leeds United under-21s v Chelsea under-21s - recap and analysis
Leeds United's under-21s take on Chelsea's under-21s in a Premier League Cup clash today in a 1pm kick-off.
Michael Skubala’s young Whites will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's surprise 7-1 league loss at home to Crystal Palace which brought an abrupt end to a good recent run.
Attention now turns to the Premier League Cup, in which the Whites sit second in Group D after two wins from two games. Chelsea are just ahead of Leeds on goal difference.
The Whites and Blues will face off in a 1pm kick-off at the LNER Community Stadium in York and we will bring you live updates and analysis from York here.
Good morning!

Players out
Minute's silence
On remembrance Sunday and the Last Post.
Underway!
1: Chelsea very quick out of the blocks. Corner
Big clearance
2: By Charlie Crew, all hands to the pump early here. Rapid high Chelsea press. Keeper Christy slipped as he cleared within seconds and Leeds not out of their own half yet
Good defending
5: By Mullen with a fine challenge and then Ferguson with a headed clearance for a corner as Chelsea storm down the left. Four corners already now.
Close, bullet strike
6: From Chelsea's George, looks in but deflected behind for another corner
Header over the bar
6: From Castledine. Leeds struggling to get out
Goal Chelsea
8: It was coming. Washington.
The goal
8: Tyrique George who is looking a real handful picked out down the right on the edge of the box, shot across goal is going just wide but Washington arrives to smash the ball home past a helpless Christy. Chelsea look a good side. Leeds respond and win a corner.
Neat corner
11: Worked to Charlie Crew whose low shot is blocked and Chelsea clear
Alert keeping
11: By Christy, races out to clear a long ball which prevents a one on one
Neat feet, chance Leeds
12: From McGurk on the edge of the box after linking up with Joseph, turns and works an opening but not much power in the shot which is saved
