Leeds face Newport, one of six League Two clubs left in the competition, in round two of the EFL Cup.

Caleb Ekuban [foot] and Pablo Hernandez [hip] are injury concerns for Leeds.

Souleymane Doukara remains available despite reports linking him with a move away from Elland Road but Chris Wood has joined Burnley.

Centre-half Matthew Pennington (ankle) and right-back Gaetano Berardi (shoulder) are both still out.

Newport midfielder Ben Tozer could be in line for his first appearance since January after finally overcoming a knee injury.

Defender Scot Bennett is also in contention after shaking off an ankle injury to feature in the final quarter at Coventry.

Shawn McCoulsky, County's two-goal hero at Southend in the last round, could return to the starting line-up, but fellow striker Marlon Jackson remains out with a hamstring injury.

A hat-trick from Samu Saiz helped Leeds past another fourth-tier side, Port Vale, in the first round, while Newport won at League One Southend.

The Welsh club had to play their second-round tie away from home as their pitch at Rodney Parade is being re-laid, but Leeds are sharing the gate.


3 - 0 us.

[CalverleyBoy]

Once again we are playing a lowly team and we get kicked to bits; fortunately Anita is made of tough stuff.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Roofe scores ayling assists

I'd still bring on wilks saiz and alioski second half to make sure of this, we have to win this, make no mistake!

[Tichi1]

Who's Luke? (I'm i n WTFs stomping ground Eastleigh) so can't hear it

[Rev72]

A kick up the bum required.

Then rip em a new one 2 half.

Sorted :D

[Acido]

This brings back great memories for me/us playing Newport at home, back in the days of Clarkie & Hunter. (but I won't go into all that lol). Btw we're sat waiting tonight for the winner of the Grimsby v Derby match, which was abandoned a fortnight ago!.

Do you all think these matches are about the result, or does the performance count as well seeing as its only the Lg cup ?.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Shaughnessy CBJ Vieira gomes and Stokes, almost half the 11 relatively inexperienced, no excuse but bar ayling, green Anita klich dallas and roofe ain't done enough first half, bloody rubbish!

[BelfastAndy]

Who's Luke? (I'm i n WTFs stomping ground Eastleigh) so can't hear it

Ayling. Good work for Roofes goal

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Gotta be about winning it, keep the unbeaten momentum going

[pilgrimwhite]

rumours that McCormack is at the game tonight

[LeedsFTW]

Result first, performance second :)

Same as any club playing a team in a lower league , you do expect your team to win, with a comfortable performance. Though when you send out your reserve team, anything can happen and normally does !

[CalverleyBoy]

Nice work by Dallas at the sound of things

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Get the heck in!! Stuey dallas

[BelfastAndy]

[españablanco73]

Hey tahh for replying on this thread FTW kid, I didn't think anybody would lol.
Yes I know cup matches are about the result, and its hard to take anything seriously if our managers put out so called weaker second choice squads.
Speaking of this, when we won the JPT a few seasons ago I was impressed with Kemar Roofe of Oxford. It sounds like one of his best games for your lot tonight ?.

[Rev72]
