Team news

Marcelo Bielsa is expected to make changes from the side that was victorious at Stoke City on Saturday.  The team is likely to be similar to the one which beat Salford City in Round One and Jack Clarke, Helder Costa and Eddie Nketiah could all start.  Stoke made six changes for the defeat on Saturday and could again make more on Tuesday.

The key battle

Ben White v Tom Ince

Defender White had a fine game for Leeds on Saturday.  Ince came off the bench for the Potters and was their biggest threat, but White will be looking to keep him quiet at Elland Road.
