The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Friday 5th April) U18's reach Cup final after edging past Lions
Good Morning. It's Friday 5th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road
U18's reach Cup final after edging past Lions
Rob Etherington’s U18's booked their place in the FA Youth Cup, edging a seven goal thriller at Elland Road last night.
10,000 fans were in attendance to see the Leeds stars of tomorrow come from behind, before eventually managing to tame the Lion cubs. To their credit, Millwall were no slouches, and after going behind themselves twice, clawed their way back into the game.
Goals from Rhys Chadwick (pen), Charlie Crew, Beaumont (own goal) and Whiteman (own goal) were enough to book a place in the final with Manchester City, who beat Bristol City 1-0 on Tuesday evening. The date and venue has not been finalised yet!
Leeds to launch legal bid against Foxes if promotion unsuccessful
Leeds will almost certainly take legal action against Leicester City if they fail to win promotion this season.
With six games left, Leeds find themselves wedged between Ipswich Town and Leicester City, with only two points separating the trio. Although currently third, Enzo Maresca's side remain favourites to finish their campaign as Champions, and have a game in hand (against Southampton).
The true extent of Leicester's blatant disregard for the rules came to light earlier this week when Chief Executive Susan Whelan revealed a pre-tax loss of £89.7m, on the back of a record £92.5m loss the season before.
After Ipswich Town's last minute goal against Southampton, it's a three horse race, but only two positions available. Unlike their flimsy case against Everton, Leeds have a waterproof case against the 15/16 Premier League winners, who brazenly refused to cut their cloth accordingly, even after relegation to the Championship!
