Leeds United v Barnsley: Latest team news, score prediction, Is there a live stream? What time is kick-off?

Barnsley will be aiming to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend, with a positive showing in their Carabao Cup first round trip to Leeds United on Wednesday evening.

The Tykes are gradually adjusting back into the swing of things in League One, with Michael Duff addressing their desperately poor 2021/22 campaign while putting his own stamp on the first team squad.

The Whites on the other hand will be in fine spirits after dispatching Chelsea to a 3-0 scoreline at Elland Road on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see what kind of strength side Jesse Marsch picks for Leeds’ first cup action of the season.

Here, we have taken a look at everything you need to know ahead of the second round clash…

Latest team news

Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford are likely to miss out for Leeds, cup competitions often provide an opportunity to give players some minutes who are building their fitness, but the risk of that could be deemed too high with how crucial the duo are to the Whites when available.

Nicky Cadden was back amongst the substitutes at Oakwell on Saturday and could be involved in some capacity, while the match is set to come too soon for Herbie Kane and Michal Helik.

Score prediction

A lot depends on the strength of the Leeds side, and they do not have a very deep squad to rotate, therefore this should be a fairly evenly matched encounter.

1-1, Leeds to progress on penalties.

Is there a live stream?

The match will be shown on Sky Sports Arena.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off is at 7.45pm at Elland Road.
