Leeds United Hosts Middlesbrough in Carabao Cup

Leeds United will host Middlesbrough in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night at Elland Road, with the match scheduled for an 8pm kick-off and coverage on Sky Sports. After a thrilling 3-3 draw against Portsmouth in their Championship opener, Leeds manager Daniel Farke is expected to make several changes to his lineup, potentially including a start for goalkeeper Karl Darlow and defender Max Wober. Meanwhile, Doncaster Rovers' manager Grant McCann is likely to rotate his squad for their EFL Cup clash against Salford City following a strong 4-1 victory against Accrington Stanley. The Carabao Cup draw for the second round will follow the Leeds vs. Middlesbrough match, with Burnley, Luton Town, and 13 Premier League clubs set to enter the competition. The Leeds Park and Ride service will be available for fans attending the match, aiming to ease parking issues around the stadium. In a notable return, former Leeds player Luke Ayling could face his old team, adding extra intrigue to the fixture.
