Leeds team news
After making six changes for the Carabao Cup tie, Daniel Farke is likely to revert to the team that started in the Premier League opener.
Goalkeeper James Trafford is set to make his home debut at Elland Road, and will likely be protected by a back three of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol and Tarik Muharemovic.
Jayden Bogle, Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and James Justin should be the midfield four, while Harry Wilson and Brenden Aaronson will play either side of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Gabriel Gudmundsson and Willy Gnonto are yet to feature this season after picking up hamstring injuries in pre-season friendlies, but they are now back in training and could make the matchday squad.
Ilia Gruev has also returned to full training following a more long-term injury, although this game will probably come too soon for the midfielder.
Mateo Joseph remains sidelined after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during his loan spell at Mallorca last season.

Leeds v Brentford odds

Brentford are 9/5 to take all three points back to London, while the draw is 5/2.
Leeds v Brentford prediction
Four of the six Premier League meetings between Leeds and Brentford have been drawn, and each of the last three have finished level, with the last two ending 0-0.
We’re expecting another low-scoring game between these sides, and under 2.5 goals is available at 10/11.
But there’s too much quality on the pitch for this to be another goalless stalemate, so we’re backing a score draw at 7/2.
Harry Wilson has scored four Premier League goals against Brentford, which is his joint-most against any single opponent in the competition.
He also netted three goals against them in the Championship during a loan spell at Derby County in 2018/19. The Wales international is 3/1 to mark his home debut with yet another goal against the Bees.
Igor Thiago put his missed penalty behind him and came off the bench to score in the Carabao Cup win over Birmingham City.
Only Erling Haaland netted more Premier League away goals than the Brazil international last season, and he is 17/10 to score anytime against Leeds.
