Manchester United make the journey to Yorkshire on Tuesday evening to face old rivals Leeds. Sir Alex Ferguson will make a host of changes to his starting XI, but is still under immense pressure to avenge United's shock FA Cup defeat of January 2010.
Nearly 21 months have passed since Jermaine Beckford scored the only goal of a third round FA Cup tie at Old Trafford, but the defeat still hurts for many United fans.
Leeds, now back in the Championship, continue to slowly rebuild after their remarkable fall from grace and will be targeting a Premier League push this season.
They head into the game on the back of a 2-1 win over Bristol City at Elland Road.
Ross McCormack was the winning goalscorer for the Whites, and the former Rangers man will be looking to cause United problems on Tuesday evening.
Goalkeeper Ben Amos is set to start for United, whilst Mame Diouf could start in an attacking role. There could also be a chance to impress for out-of-favour striker Dimitar Berbatov.
Meanwhile, Paul Pogba will be hoping to play some part in the game and a host of young players are expected to be included amongst the substitutes.
United have won the League Cup on three occasions during their history.
