Leeds United have eased the pressure on their manager Garry Monk with back-to-back league wins against Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City, and now the Whites take on the former again, this time in the EFL Cup.

Leeds defeated Fleetwood Town and Luton Town in the previous two rounds to get to this stage, and they will know that if they can overcome Rovers the likelihood is they will be pitting their wits against top flight opposition in round four.

That said, Monk is likely to make some changes for this clash, as he did for the previous games, with Leeds possessing a relatively large squad with fringe players hoping for any small chance to make their mark.

Among those players are Tyler Denton, Souleymane Doukara and summer signing Matt Grimes, who will be hoping to force his way back into Monk’s thinking after quickly slipping out of contention in the Championship.
