Preview
Fulham lost their last match 1-2 at home to Reading in the Championship which kept them in 2nd place on the table.
Ejaria’s brace was enough to dismantle the Whites and inflict a 2nd defeat on them this season.
Even after this, Fulham find themselves in a good position and their fans expect a reaction from the home side in this one.
On the other hand, Leeds is still eyeing a maiden win this season in the Premier League after a 1-1 stalemate against Magpies.
Raphinha’s strike was cancelled out by Saint-Maximin as both sides shared the spoils.
After 5 matches, Leeds has 3 points where all the points have come through draws.
Fulham last faced Leeds in the EPL earlier this year; where Leeds won 2-1.

Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Leeds
The EFL Cup is a tournament full of surprises and the lower ranked teams tend to out do better sides and qualify.
But at this stage, Leeds has to pick up a win as they are yet to win a match this season.
With their backs to the wall, we expect a reaction from Bielsa’s side. Leeds United should nick this one and progress.
