Henrik Pedersen has kept things fairly simple and fairly consistent with his predecessor Danny Röhl.
In a way, he has had very little choice but to do so because of the financial situation at the club and the lack of reinforcements that they have been able to recruit thus far.
However, the 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 formation is working relatively well. Yes, Wednesday are yet to win a match this season, but given their lack of transfers and lack of a pre-season, their draws against Bolton, in this competition with a rotated side, and on Saturday against Wrexham, coming back from 2-0 down, showed a lot of resilience and competitive spirit.
Rotation will play a part again here, but the way that the resilience is running through the whole of the club, one would back even the fringe and young players to play above themselves at this stage.
The 5-0 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend is not necessarily what we should be judging Leeds United on, and we know how dominant they were in the Championship last season.
There haven't yet been sweeping changes to Leeds’ starting XI, but we can expect Daniel Farke to perform at least a heavy rotation of his squad here. Last season, it was a three-quarters rotation, which ultimately led to a 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the first round.
What we can be fairly sure of is how Farke will set up. 4-2-3-1 with the full backs advanced to the extent that they are almost wingers, allowing the outside forwards to turn infield to support the #9 and #10 to create overloads in the central areas. The two CMs will be employed as a block to prevent dangerous counter-attacks exploiting Leeds down the centre.
