Leeds United's Under-21s will play non-league Guiseley AFC at Nethermoor Park on Saturday, July 27 as part of the club's pre-season preparations for 2024/25.
The Whites' youngsters will visit Northern Premier League outfit Guiseley next month in a bid to test themselves against senior opposition ahead of their 2024/25 Premier League 2 campaign. Leeds' U21s finished the season third-bottom of the new-look, 26-team PL2 standings last term, missing out on the end-of-season play-offs contested by the top 16 sides, in the division made up entirely of Category One academies.
United's youngsters picked up 18 points from 20 matches in what was a transitionary season, however this coming year it is expected Leeds will compete at a higher level boosted by the development of several players from the Under-18s stepping up to U21 football, many of whom featured on the club's run to the 2023/24 FA Youth Cup Final. Guiseley, meanwhile, finished 10th in the 21-team Northern Premier League and have faced Leeds on several occasions in pre-season fixtures over the years.
