Daniel Farke to preview Leeds United’s League Cup visit to Chelsea | OneFootball

Daniel Farke will face the media shortly to preview Leeds United’s League Cup trip to Chelsea on Wednesday evening in the third round.

According to Leeds Live, Farke is expected to rotate, with possible debuts for Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Melvin Bard after their deadline-day arrivals, while Michael Zetterer could also make his bow.

Leeds have not played Chelsea in this competition since 2012. This is their first away tie at Stamford Bridge in the League Cup since 1969.

Farke is likely to provide an update on Daniel James, who reported back problems in the warm-up before Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion. Joe Rodon is out for two months.

The League Cup is not top of Leeds’ agenda, though Farke will want to keep early momentum intact. The Whites went unbeaten against the Blues last season, winning at Elland Road then drawing away in February. This tie should be a stern test that could underline the spirit and depth of his squad.
