'Could be a wild night' Leeds United fans react as Costa and Nketiah named in starting XI at Salford

Marcelo Bielsa has named a strong side to face Salford City in the Carabao Cup first round, much to the delight of Leeds United fans.

Despite making seven changes from the side that drew with Nottingham Forest at the weekend, Bielsa has retained the likes of Kiko Casilla, Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich, while handing full debuts to Helder Costa and Eddie Nketiah.

Casilla continues in goal, while Gaetano Berardi comes in for his first appearance of the new season and will likely play at right-back, with Ben White and Leif Davis in the middle and Gjanni Alioski at left-back.

Jamie Shackleton comes into the midfield in place of Adam Forshaw, with Phillips and Klich keeping their places.

Jack Clarke and Costa will play out wide, with deadline day signing Nketiah leading the line.

Leeds United: Casilla, Berardi, White, Davis, Alioski, Shackleton, Phillips, Klich Clarke, Costa, Nketiah

Subs: Miazek, Dallas, Gotts, McCalmont, Harrison, Bogusz, Bamford
