The Leeds United Under-23 side against their Newcastle United counterparts include Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Chelsea-owned Izzy Brown.

Leeds United's Bailey Peacock-Farrell warms up during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Millwall at Elland Road on March 30, 2019 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United first-team goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been included in the Under-23 side’s starting lineup against their Newcastle United counterparts in the Premier League Cup semi-final tie at Guiseley FC’s Nethermoor Park this evening.

Peacock-Farrell has been struggling for playing time for the Leeds first team under head coach Marcelo Bielsa since January following the signing of experienced goalkeeper Kiko Casilla in the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international goalkeeper has made 28 appearances in the Championship for Leeds so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Leeds first-team defender Gaetano Berardi has also been included in the starting lineup as well, and so has Izzy Brown.

Brown, signed on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Chelsea in the summer of 2018, has played just nine minutes for the Whites’ first team this season, according to WhoScored, despite being fully fit for several weeks now.
