After overcoming Shrewsbury Town earlier this month, Leeds United will travel to Salford City in the second round of the Carabao Cup this year.
In order to build on the positive energy from last weekend’s triumph in the seven-goal thriller against Ipswich Town, Daniel Farke will lead his team to the League Two club.
The German manager of Leeds earned his first league victory and will aim to go to the third round of this competition by defeating fourth-tier Salford, which is partially owned by Manchester United‘s Class of ’92.
Sam Byram, a defender, will miss this evening’s game after suffering an adductor injury during the 4-3 victory on Saturday. Dan James and Ian Poveda, who did not play at Portman Road, are still questionable.
With the final week of the summer transfer window in full force, Leeds are anticipated to be active in the market right up until the deadline, so team selection tonight might be especially interesting if any outbound movements are on the horizon.
Throughout the evening, you can find build-up, team news, live match coverage, and post-match reaction here. The game begins at 8 p.m.

Eddie Nketiah, Gaetano Berardi, and Mateusz Klich scored.
The adversary
Leeds fans will be familiar with Salford’s co-owners: Manchester United‘s Class of ’92.
Neil Wood, the head coach, is also a former Manchester United U23s manager.
The squad is presently ninth in League Two, with seven points from five games, including a 2-1 loss to Accrington Stanley.
Team news from the start
We expect some rotation from Daniel Farke tonight, but this is still a good XI against League Two opposition.
Sam Byram will miss out due to an adductor issue, while Ian Poveda and Dan James face late fitness tests after missing out on the matchday squad at the weekend.
Ethan Ampadu was observed stretching his groyne at various moments during the weekend triumph, so it’s worth keeping an eye on him tonight as well.
