Five non-league matches Leeds United fans could attend on Saturday

With the international break pausing Premier League action, Leeds United find themselves without a game this weekend. Back-to-back victories have guided the Whites seven points clear of the relegation zone and it has given them a better chance of staying in the top-flight.

The Whites are now not playing again until Saturday, April 2 when they face Southampton at Elland Road. However, some Leeds supporters will still be searching for their football fix and could be looking for a game to go to over this two-week period.

Following on from a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Non-League Day is back for the first time since October 2019 and it gives fans who normally follow the professional game a chance to sample their local side. Subsequently, there are many matches in and around the Leeds area that supporters can attend this weekend.

Over the last ten years, Non-League Day has grown to be one of the biggest events on the footballing calendar and is responsible for a huge spike in attendances outside the top four tiers. So, with that in mind, LeedsLive have taken a look at five matches Whites fans could visit on Saturday.

Guiseley vs Chester - National League North

Starting at Step 2 of the non-league pyramid (sixth tier of English football), Guiseley take on Chester in what is a must-win game for the hosts in their pursuit of staying in the division. Situated around 10 miles from Leeds City Centre, this could be a perfect game for fans to attend given the level that they play at.

Farsley Celtic vs Telford United - National League North

Similarly, Farsley Celtic are also in action when they host AFC Telford United - it is a club that is only 7.4 miles away from Leeds. There is just a point between the two sides towards the bottom of the table and it could be a game that determines where The Celts will finish this season.

Frickley Athletic vs Sheffield FC - Northern Premier League Division One East

With both sides fighting for survival at Step 4 of the non-league pyramid, Frickley Athletic face 'The World's First' in Sheffield FC at the Sika Everbuild Stadium. Based in South Elmsall, West Yorkshire, there are 24 miles between Leeds and Frickley, and it is another game that should be filled with entertainment.

Ossett United vs Shildon - Northern Premier League Division One East

In the same divsion, Ossett United will be hoping to continue their climb towards the play-off places when they host Shildon. Ossett is based just 11 miles away from Leeds and it is an easily accessible ground that is situated between Wakefield and Dewsbury.

Garforth Town vs Penistone Church - Northern Counties East Premier Division

Dropping down a level, Garforth Town take on Sheffield-based side Penistone Church as they continue their push for promotion. Although this is a Step 5 game, with both sides at the top of the table, this has the ingredients to be a high-quality encounter which should be played at a fast pace.
