Leeds v Shrewsbury - Match preview

Matt Taylor has promised changes to Shrewsbury Town’s team for tonight’s trip to Leeds will be aimed at giving them the best chance of causing a Carabao Cup upset.

The boss is planning to shuffle the pack for Town’s first trip to Elland Road for 11 years but has ruled out wholesale changes, in part because the relatively small size of his squad makes it impossible.

But while his team head north as big underdogs, Taylor is determined for them to put in a strong performance which can continue the momentum started by Saturday’s season opening win over Cheltenham.

He said: “We will make a couple of changes but we will make the changes we believe give us the best opportunity of competing in the game and then the best chance of competing on Saturday.

“There is the opportunity to have a look at a few players we have not seen so far this year.
