Leeds United have confirmed that their Under-23s side has been drawn at home to Newcastle United in the semi-finals of the Premier League Cup.

The Whites, managed by Carlos Corberan, reached the final four of the competition after running out 3-1 winners over Burnley on Friday.

Ryan Edmondson’s brace, followed by a Hugo Diaz header, helped Leeds defeat Burnley and reach the semis, less than a week after Corberan’s charges also took the PDL North title.

For Newcastle, meanwhile, Mo Sangare’s extra-time goal sealed a 3-2 win over Derby County in their quarter-final tie, ensuring they would face the Whites a third time in the competition.

The two teams were drawn together in Group H, which saw Leeds won 3-1 at home, while Newcastle claimed a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture, and the third meeting will be played between 30 April and 10 May.

Here is how some of the Elland Road faithful reacted to the club’s announcement on Twitter:

In the other semi-final, 2016-17 PL Cup winners Swansea City edged past Nottingham Forest on penalties in their quarter-final to book a semi-final with the winner of Everton and Blackburn Rovers, which will be decided on Tuesday 23 April.
