Leeds will host Newcastle in their second Premier League Cup Group Stage game, and the holders will be hoping to continue their early-season form, which has left them unbeaten so far.

Manager Gemma Grainger, now the country's youngest female UEFA 'A' Licence-holder, is pleased with the way her new group of players has come together.

"The squad is blending together nicely," she said. "We've only had four weeks together and we're learning a lot every time we play. I'm extremely encouraged by the attitude the girls have shown so far this season."

After the 1-1 draw against Sunderland two weeks ago, a win against Newcastle will put Leeds in a good position to qualify from the group, as well as end their opponent's interest in the competition. The top two teams from each group, plus the two best third-placed teams will qualify for the last 16.

Entry to the game is £4 for adults, £3 for Leeds United season tickets holders (show your card at the turnstile) and £2 for concessions
