Caribou Cup, Second Round
Fresh from their seven goal thriller from Portman Road, the Whites find themselves back in action midweek, for a War of the Roses clash with Salford City in the second round of the League Cup.
The Ammies upset the odds by knocking out Preston on penalties in the previous round, but the league tells a different story. They've lost two of out their last three games including a 2-1 home loss against Accrington Stanley at the weekend, and currently lie 10th in League two on seven points from five games. The two sides have only ever met once before; which was four years ago in the opening round of the Caribou Cup. On that day, goals from Nketiah, Berardi and Klich made it a comfortable night for the Whites.
Just like he did against Shrewsbury Town in the opening round, Daniel Farke rings the changes with Darlow, Hjelde, Shackleton, Cresswell, Summerville and Gelhardt all coming into the side. Cody Drameh only makes the bench after his first half substitute appearance against Ipswhich. Struijk, Ampadu, Gray, Rutter and Gnonto all retain their places in the starting XI.
Sonny Perkins has joined Oxford Utd on a season long loan, whilst Povada, James, Bamford, Dallas, Cooper, Joseph and Firpo remain absent through injury. Leeds reached the 3rd round of the league Cup last term, before being knocked out by Wolves; can they progress even further this season?
