Daniel FarkaThe side is currently in undefeated 14 games, including a 1-0 victory over local Harrogate Town rivals in the previous round of competition at Elland Road.
Whites come to meet 2-0 win against Coventry City in the Championship, and the goals of Joel Piroe and Jayden Bogle have secured all three points in the CBS Arena.
However, given that today’s trip would be a Cup game, it could allow the German boss to make some changes to eleven eleven, which would potentially drop a single player after his display in the middle of the week.
Brendan Aaronson Coventry screen for Leeds
American midfielder Bredden Aaronson A few days ago, he started his 29th League match of the season in victory, but failed to produce a memory against Sky Blues – potentially opening the door to reject it.
The 24-year-old could only Suster 44 Toches Throughout the victory, too loss of possession 11 times During the competition, although he also failed to complete any of his intersection attempts – he could not help any other attacker on arriving on the list.
It was another example of his hot and cold screens, whether one of the most creative players on the field or unrecognizable in large parts, which went through movements as seen on various occasions of 2024/25.
He is an extremely talented player who will always do his socks for himself and the team, but his lack of end product at certain moments can be frustrating – potentially deviate with much more contributions to his goal than his electricity of 10 to this day.
Considering that meeting with Lions is a Cup conflict, Farka could see a meeting as an opportunity to rest the former RB Salzburg star, as a result, handing over the first senior start to a young player.
Farke could hand over the debut of Leeds to a academic star
Over the years, Leeds has handed over numerous players in the Academy who played roles in the first team, and some talents have exceeded all expectations.
Kalvin Phillips went through the rows in Yorkshire, before playing a key role under Marcel Biels in a campaign to win a promotion, before he went to Manchester City for £ 45 million in summer 2022.
Farke has the opportunity to give a similar opportunity to a 17-year-old academic gem, Rhys Chadwick, presented a young man award for his impressive representations in 2024/25.

Chadwick registered Five goals and three assists Despite playing many years above his age group, emphasizing the quality he possesses – more than deserving a jump in the senior squad in some stage in the near future.
He also presented the FI Youth Cup twice in 2024/25, taking a handbag and led from the front, registering two assists, further showing its offensive quality.
It cannot be denying that the jump from young people to the professional game is huge, but given its form in the last few months, it is only a fair that Chadwick has been given the opportunity to prove to be proven.
Considering the Cup game and a recent view under Aaronson earlier in the week, it could be the perfect opportunity to see what the young man is capable of – to bear his claim for a regular initial role under Farke in the coming weeks if he impresses to impress.
