Leeds have started the season in fine fettle and will be determined to keep the momentum flowing when they face a local foe, Barnsley.

The Yorkshire sides' grounds are separated by just 23 miles, but two steps on the football pyramid will keep them apart for the foreseeable future aside from cup clashes like this one.

Leeds have faced Barnsley 16 times since 2006, every time in the Championship, despite both sides bouncing up and down between the second and third tiers. They won the last four meetings.

Jesse Marsch has won plenty of fans to his cause in the early stages of the Premier League campaign with US compatriot Brendan Aaronson capturing plenty of attention, as well as Jack Harrison and Rodrigo.

Barnsley returned to League One for 2022/23 and have started the campaign in rocky form with three defeats in their opening five encounters.

Our prediction: Leeds v Barnsley

If you think early-round cup encounters are tepid affairs, think again. This one will have plenty of spice, particularly in the stands. Marsch is in the luxurious position of being able to give his fringe players a run-out to stake a claim to get into his ever-crystallising strongest XI. Those players should step up and deliver here.

Our prediction: Leeds 2-0 Barnsley (11/2 at bet365)
