Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United: Team news hints and kick-off time for Carabao Cup tie | OneFootball

Leeds United begin their Carabao Cup campaign at Nottingham Forest tonight, returning to the City Ground four days after their league win.

Saturday’s 1-0 victory arrived via a late Anton Stach free-kick after a steady defensive display and a clean sheet. yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk notes that Daniel Farke could rotate his side for the quick turnaround.

The Premier League rivals meet in the second round. Both sides enter at this stage, as they did last season. Farke’s men went out on penalties to Sheffield Wednesday, missing all three spot-kicks, and he has not progressed beyond round two in three attempts, losing twice here and once in round one.

With four days between fixtures, a handful of changes could come while keeping key figures involved. A debut could await Nico Elvedi following his £8.5million move from Borussia Monchengladbach last week. He could join fellow arrivals James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson in a new-look starting XI.

Opportunities may also open up for Daniel James or Willy Gnonto, while youngsters Jayden Lienou and Alfie Cresswell might eye senior minutes. Kick-off is at eight pm.
