Leeds United’s Under 23 gaffer Carlos Corberan has selected a very strong side indeed for this afternoon’s clash with Burnley.
Leeds have already kicked off the affair and the first half is almost over, and at this point we are losing 2-1.

The squad features Will Huffer, Conor Shaughnessy, Lewis Baker, Izzy Brown, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford makes an appearance – his first since September – following the injury he sustained.
Whilst it should be a good runout for them all, regardless of what happens in the second half with the fulltime result, reacting to the starting XI, plenty of Leeds United fans were hoping that the injury God’s would be kind to us in this clash given the way we’ve lost players pretty consistently so far in 2018/19 to injury.
19-0 win incoming. Patrick bamford scoring 18 and Halme coming on and scoring a scissor kick from the half way line

So far it doesn’t look like anybody has picked up an issue and we have to hope that’s exactly how it continues for the final 45 minutes.
