It's early days in the Premier League 2 Divison Two and both Leeds U23 and Middlesbrough U23 are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Leeds have less rest than Middlesbrough U23 in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League 2 Divison Two game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Sunderland U23, so at least Leeds are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
