United head coach Jesse Marsch is expected to ring the changes this evening, which could include a handful of previously injured first-team players making a return to the matchday squad.
The starting XI is also expected to include a number of youngsters currently on the fringes of first-team affairs as senior figures instrumental in last Sunday’s 3-0 win over Chelsea are rested.

Leeds United v Barnsley LIVE: Sinisterra and Klich fire Whites into first-half lead
Changes imminent
61’ Marc Roca ready to come on. Meslier down holding his head and will receive treatment. Clashed with Cole who was sliding in.
GOOOOOOALLLLLL KLICH 3-1
56’ Gelhardt wins it back brilliantly in the corner with a sliding tackle. Sinisterra picks it up, drives inside far too easily and cuts it back where Klich fires home the poor Barnsley clearance. Cultured finish. Vintage Klich.
Appeals
55’ Penalty appeal at the other end now. Cole goes past Struijk on the right and passes infield. Styles takes it and drives into the area. He’s felled but referee doesn’t deem it enough for a second Barnsley penalty of the night.
Close call
54’ Penalty appeal for Leeds. Ball bobbles up inside the area and hits a Barnsley hand. Ref waves it away.
