U23s’ Premier League Cup round of 16 match confirmed

West Ham United U23s will face Leeds United in the Premier League Cup round of 16. 

The Hammers and the Whites will meet at Rush Green Stadium for a place in the quarter-finals on Monday 11 April 2022 with kick-off set for 4pm. 

Mark Robson’s developmental side secured a home tie in the round of 16 by finishing top of Group F, winning four of their six matches and picking up 13 points. 

Leeds, meanwhile, claimed second in Group E with eight points. 

The two teams have already met twice in Premier League 2 action this campaign, playing out a 2-2 draw at Thorp Arch Grange in September before goals from Pierre Ekwah, Connor Coventry and Armstrong Okoflex secured a 3-0 win for the developmental side at home in early January. 

April is set to be a busy month for the U23s with the Premier League 2 match away to Liverpool also receiving a change of venue. Mark Robson’s side are now set to play the Reds at Anfield on Sunday 17 April 2022.

The U23s return to action this Friday, playing Brighton & Hove Albion at London Stadium in Premier League 2 at 7pm.
