Little folk in team tucking into baked food (6)
I believe the answer is:
pixies
'little folk' is the definition.
'team tucking into baked food' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'tucking into' is an insertion indicator.
'baked food' becomes 'pies'.
'xi' inserted inside 'pies' is 'PIXIES'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for pixies that I've seen before include "Small supernatural beings in fairy tales" , "Elves, imps" , "Mischievous fairies" , "Little (mischievous) people" , "small fairies in children's tales" .)
