How to follow Leeds United vs Crewe Alexandra: Team news, live stream details & kick-off time

Leeds United take a break from the early rounds of the Premier League this week as their campaign in the Carabao Cup begins.

Marcelo Bielsa's side take on Crewe Alexandra in the second round of the competition, which is the first to include clubs from the Premier League - with the exception of those who have qualified for Europe.

Leeds could shuffle their pack for the cup encounter, introducing fringe players in order to keep the usual suspects fresh.

Here, we've gathered everything you need to know about the match and how you can keep track of the action at Elland Road.

Is Leeds United vs Crewe on TV?

Unfortunately, the match has not been selected for live TV coverage in the UK - with the two selections being Barrow vs Aston Villa and West Brom vs Arsenal.

Therefore, it's not possible to watch or live stream Leeds' clash with Crewe, which kicks-off at 7:45pm, but highlights will be available via Sky Sports after the final whistle.

But LeedsLive will be bringing you live updates and all the post-match reaction right here.

What is the team news?

Robin Koch missed the 2-2 draw against Everton at the weekend with a groin injury and looks set to sit this one out.

Diego Llorente, meanwhile, has been absent due to a knee injury and, like defensive partner Koch, is unlikely to be risked in midweek.

Some conclusions could be made from the amount of young players utilised by Bielsa, as some absentees may hint towards loan exits in the final week of the window.

What are the odds?

Leeds are unsurprisingly made heavy favourites at 4/11 via Skybet.

A draw within 90 minutes is placed at 4/1 but that won't bring the end of the action though, as the game will progress to straight to penalties.

For Crewe, an upset is placed at 13/2 with The Alex seen as very unlikely to secure a historic win.
