Leeds United fans are excited to see some of the fringe players in action as Jesse Marsch has made nine changes to the team to face Barnsley. Cody Drameh, Liam Cooper, Leo Hjelde, Adam Forshaw, Sam Greenwood, Mateusz Klich, Crysencio Summerville, Luis Sinisterra and Joe Gelhardt are all making their first starts of the season.
Illan Meslier and Diego Llorente are the only players to keep their place from the 3-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend. Leeds will be looking to build on the momentum generated in the opening three matches of the season and progress to the third round of the Carabao Cup for second consecutive season.
Full Leeds team: Illan Meslier; Cody Drameh, Diego Llorente, Liam Cooper, Leo Hjelde; Adam Forshaw, Sam Greenwood; Crysencio Summerville, Mateusz Klich, Luis Sinisterra; Joe Gelhardt.

Here is how Leeds fans have reacted to tonight’s line-up:
@Lukelufcsavs: "Says strong but that's actually our second team haha, we'd have been lucky to even field a team near that strength last season."
@ThruItAllLUFC: "Coops back in which is fantastic to see. No start for Klaesson/Robles which is surprising though. Will have a keen eye on Drameh, Summerville, Sinisterra, Greenwood and Gelhardt."
@mightywhitespod: "Great to see minutes for Cooper. Drameh and Hjelde need minutes so that's good too. Greenwood/Gelhardt combo giving flashbacks. Strong bench."
@tonypdickinson: "Like this. A bit of experience and a bit of youth."
@JoolsM71: "Decent line-up for once in the early rounds."
@Jack_T_92: "This is the depth you want. A few more additions and we'll be sweet."
@samowen198707: "Strong lineup but just shows that we finally have some strength in depth at the club. We have game changes on the bench in Prem games and now we have the ability to play strong teams in cup games."
@RalphBarraclou1: "Great to see us with the squad depth to put a strong side out even for the minor cup competition."
@willtobeweird: "Exact team I was hoping for, wouldn't have minded seeing Meslier get a rest too, but glad to see some of those players get a start."
@Rick__Bailey: "Now this is the difference this year that's now a second choice team and strong. Now we are developing some real squad depth."
