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
FT: Leeds 3-1 Barnsley
A few small scares but mostly routine. Good auditions from Drameh, Summerville, Greenwood & Struijk at left-back yet again during the second half. Sinisterra played at a canter, & was very good - involved in all three goals.
From the training ground
82’ Nicely-worked free-kick routine. Roca fires it low into the centre of the box and Rodrigo arrives but puts his effort over the bar.
Skill school
81’ Williams booked for the visitors after chopping down Summerville who'd performed an excellent skill to beat him down the left. Free-kick from a tight angle.
74’ Flowing move from Leeds ends with Gelhardt trying to play in Summerville with a cute one-two inside the box. Gets a second bite of the cherry but it’s out for a corner. Lovely stuff.
