Leeds United have been drawn against fellow Championship side Middlesbrough in the first round of next season’s Carabao Cup.
Leeds, ball number 19 in the Northern Section of the cup draw, will take on Boro and former Elland Road favourite Luke Ayling at Elland Road. Ex-Whites hero Gary McAllister performed the draw alongside former Chelsea man Frank Sinclair. Last season Daniel Farke’s men overcame Shrewsbury Town in the first round at Elland Road but exited in the second round after an epic penalty shoot-out that ended 9-8 to League Two hosts Salford City.
I feel for the lads, when you judge the game, normally you need to win this game. It was an incredible amount of chances that we have created, it’s so difficult to create big chances against a side who is sitting that deep and defends for their lives and for them, it is the game of the season. We created so much, it felt like we had enough chances to score five by half time, but the reality is we just scored one in 90 minutes.
