The home team comes to this 2 nd round after the loss in their league debut, against Manchester United, by (5‑1).

In the last 10 home matches Leeds United has a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

The home team usually plays in a traditional 4-3-3, favoring quick transitions and attacks across the wings. In this drawing, the three most advanced men will be Jack Harrison, Raphinha and Patrick Bamford, the latter being very competent in aerial play and finishing. For this game, coach Marcelo Bielsa can count on all his players.
