Bianchi set for Leeds bow

Leeds midfielder Tomasso Bianchi could make his first competitive appearance for the club in the Capital One Cup tie at home to Accrington.

The Italian, a permanent summer signing from Sassuolo and central to coach Dave Hockaday's plans, missed the opening-day league defeat at Millwall through a suspension carried over from last season.

Hockaday must decide whether to include Steve Morison in his squad. The striker missed out against his former club on Saturday due to a calf strain and may be ruled out again with a view to returning next weekend.

Two more summer signings, midfielder Zan Benedicic and defender Gaetano Berardi, are hoping to make their club bows, while winger Aidy White (ankle) and midfielder Lewis Walters (knee) remain sidelined.

Accrington boss James Beattie may be tempted to shuffle his pack in the wake of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Southend.

Striker James Alabi, signed on loan from Stoke last week, could find himself involved from the start after making a late substitute appearance against the Shrimpers.

Goalkeeper Luke Simpson looks set to continue in goal despite competition from Jay Lynch while teenage midfielder Connor Martin may get his first taste of action since joining from Rochdale.

Fellow new signing Adam Buxton will also be looking to retain his place in defence after playing 90 minutes at the weekend.

Doukara double ousts Stanley

French striker Souleymane Doukara struck two high-quality goals as Leeds condemned League Two opponents Accrington to a 2-1 Capital One Cup first-round exit.

But the win was soured when the hosts had Switzerland right-back Gaetano Berardi sent off for a last-minute touchline scuffle.

Leeds needed a lift after their defeat at Millwall on the opening weekend of the Sky Bet Championship season and Doukara, 22, provided it with his opening goal on 20 minutes.

Doukara, on a season-long loan from Italian club Catania, met a cross from Berardi, turned neatly for a big man and shot into the bottom-left corner from 15 yards.

Then, 18 minutes later, young midfielder Lewis Cook threaded the ball through to Doukara, who turned defender Dean Winnard inside out before firing past goalkeeper Luke Simpson from just inside the penalty box.

Leeds dominated for long spells but Accrington staged a late rally and James Gray's 84th-minute shot caused a mix-up between keeper Stuart Taylor and Charlie Taylor and the ball bobbled over the line.

Josh Windass went close in the first half and substitute Rob Atkinson headed only just just over the Leeds bar in the 52nd minute but Accrington left their push much too late.
