Leeds United travel to face Salford City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night and here are four things to look out for around the match
After picking up his first league win as manager of Leeds United, it seems Daniel Farke has something of an internal battle. His inclination will be to make wholesale changes against the League Two outfit and allow a host of his fringe players to pick up minutes.
Of course, Farke will be keen to avoid unnecessary risk, but he will also looking to ward off the type of drop off that we saw against Shrewsbury Town in the previous round of the competition. He has more options at his disposal now, thanks to a number of signings made since the first round clash at Elland Road, but picking his starting XI for the clash with Salford City looks to be a fine balance.
The manager tried to take the heat off the full-back after the game in his post-match press conference and he has the chance to give him an immediate shot at redemption by naming him in the side at Salford, on his preferred right-hand side.Farke hinted that Crysencio Summerville could be involved tonight while speaking to the press at Portman Road.
The Ammies have struggled to build momentum in the league this season, winning two of their first five games, but they’ll be reeling after Saturday’s home defeat to Accrington Stanley and they’ll certainly look to make life difficult for the Whites. Matt Smith is probably the most well-known player to Leeds fans within their squad and he’ll be keen to get one over his old side.
