Nottingham Forest will face Leeds United in the Carabao Cup, with Brenden Aaronson left out of the Whites' predicted XI. Oliver Glasner's side will look to bounce back from a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth last season. Leeds United have another test against Nottingham Forest in their Carabao Cup clash on Tuesday. The Whites will play Oliver Glasner's side for a second time in just their second game of the season when they face the Reds this week.

What happened?

Daniel Farke will take great confidence after he coached his side to a late 1-0 win over Glasner's team on Saturday in the first game week of the Premier League season. Anton Stach's free-kick was enough to give the Whites all three points, but a midweek cup clash could prove a slightly different test.

Why it matters for Nottingham Forest

Farke will have food for thought ahead of the match, with one eye on a positive Premier League campaign, and the other on another cup run. Leeds came close to silverware last season, and a journey to lift the Carabao Cup could start at the City Ground.

What comes next?

There will be many players who Leeds fans will be hoping to see, including Noah Okafor, but one man on the lips of many supporters will be Nico Elvedi. The centre-back was cleared to play in time for the first game against Nottingham Forest, and made the bench for matchday. However, the 29-year-old was unable to make his debut, with Farke opting to play the likes of Jaka Bijol, Joe Rodon and Tarik Muharemovic in front of him.

How could Leeds line up for Forest clash?

Farke will most likely only make a few changes, one being Elvedi, who could come in for Muharemovic, so that no wholesale changes are made to the backline. Ethan Ampadu has proved that he can play practically every game and should keep his place, but Ao Tanaka may be given a fair start over Stach, with the latter poised to be a goal-scoring threat from the bench, if needed.
