Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch is set to field a changed squad for the midweek Carabao Cup derby clash with Barnsley, though he still expects his side to entertain the fans.
The Yorkshire outfit have taken seven points from their opening three games of the Premier League season and put in their best performance of Marsch's reign on Sunday when they thumped Chelsea 3-0 at home.
The way they played on Sunday, with their energy, high press and desire, showed a clear identity and Marsch is keen to see that again against the League One opposition.
"Against Barnsley we will probably rotate a few guys and we need to see performances from the entire squad that represent clarity and intelligence so we can move everything along in the direction we want to go with every single player," the American said.
"There is a very clear identity to this club and a very clear history and it is very important.
"We play in a way our fans appreciate and want to see, it's an entertainment business and we have to try and play football that will entertain the fans."
Kristoffer Klaesson, Cody Drameh, Leo Hjelde, Sam Greenwood, Adam Forshaw, Crysencio Summerville, Mateusz Klich, Luis Sinisterra and Joe Gelhardt will all be eyeing some game time.
