More than 3000 Leeds fans will be making the short trip down the M1 to the Keepmoat Stadium Thursday evening for the 1st round of the Capital Cup, and not for the first time.
This will be the third time in five seasons that Rovers and Leeds have met in the League Cup. The side playing away from home have won five of the last six encounters between these two sides, including each of the last three.
At least that bodes well for Leeds
Leeds are full of early season promise, but we all know that local derbies, especially Cup games are full of upsets.
Rovers winger N'Guessan is out but ex Leeds midfielder Paul Keegan, who spend 5 years at Elland Road, having come through the ranks of many successful Leeds footballer's Home Farm, Ireland could return after missing the final two months of last season.
Striker Nathan Tyson may start after coming off the bench on Saturday.
Rosler needs to decide whether to risk Luke Murphy who only underwent knee surgery just over a month ago.
Stuart Dallas will start as he looks to build his fitness.
Antenucci is also expected to start having scored a worldie last weekend that should have seen Leeds gather all three points.
It is expected that Rosler will give game time to some of the younger players. In particular, I am looking forward to seeing how Coyle and Walters are improving.
At 6/4, surely this is a bet worth while?
