  "account": "The Leeds United Under-21s will face Tamworth in the National League Cup at The Lamb Ground on Tuesday evening. Leeds, currently fifth in Group C, has a three-point lead over Tamworth, who sit fourth with the same number of points but a better goal difference. The match is part of the National League Cup, where Leeds secured a 4-3 victory against Barnsley in their opening fixture of the EFL Trophy Group G.\n\nTamworth also won their opening game against Newcastle United Under-21s, while Leeds has won one and lost one of their first two matches. Leeds' victory over Gateshead and Scunthorpe United Under-21s last season did not secure their progression to the knockout stages. Tamworth progressed to the semi-finals but were defeated by West Ham United Under-21s, who eventually lost to Boreham Wood.\n\nThe match will kick off at 7.45pm, with tickets priced at £5-£7 for adults, £2-£4 for Under-16s, and free for Under-10s in specific areas. Supporters can purchase tickets at the gate or online. Live updates and highlights will be available on leedsunited.com during and after the game.",
