Leeds dominated the game and had some good chances. Curtis Weston, Anthony Elding and Ollie Hotchkiss all came close for the hosts, whilst Ian Westlake had a goal disallowed for offside.
Jonothan Forte spurned United's best chance of the game when he fired a close range effort just wide of the post.
United gave run outs to Chelsea duo Phil Younghusband and James Simmonds, while Kevin Horlock managed to get a bit more playing time under his belt.
