Darlington v Leeds - Match Preview

Leeds United matches are like buses this week - you wait three months for one and then two come together. Following the victory over Exeter on Saturday, Leeds travel to Darlington in the first round of the League Cup. Kick off is 7.45pm and the match will be live on Sky.

In the game against Exeter at the weekend, it was literally a game of two halves as Leeds openned and dominated the game for the first 35 minutes, but then allowed Exeter to get a foothold.  Tonight, they will be looking to assert themselves on the game for the full 90 minutes.

Left back, Ben Parker is doubtful after picking up a hamstring injury on Saturday and there willb e further changes at the back with both Kisnorbo and Marques on International duty.  Team Captain, Richard naylor is still out so Michalik and Huntington are expected to start.

Simon Grayson has stated he is taking a strong team so Beckford and Becchio should start although Showumni may be favoured having made an impact at the weekend.  Midfield shouldn't change much although Robinson could push Johnson out.

Darlington, fresh out of Administration, lost their opening fixture, going down 3-1 against Aldershot and the replays shows they were lucky to get away with that scoreline - UK viewers can see the action here. 

It should be a formality for Leeds this evening.
