Carabao Cup second round draw details as Leeds United and 14 other sides set to enter competition

Leeds United will learn their second round Carabao Cup opponents on Wednesday evening. The Whites, other 12 Premier League clubs not in Europe and recently relegated Watford and Burnley are all set to enter the tournament with first round matches set to be played across this week.

The draw for the second round will take place following the conclusion of Sheffield Wednesday’s clash with Sunderland at Hillsborough. Sky’s new Carabao Cup presenter for 2022/23, Mark Chapman, will host the draw with ex-Owls striker Clinton Morrison and former Sunderland man Michael Gray tasked with drawing the teams.

Leeds will be placed into the northern section of the draw for round two and could face any of the sides in their half of the draw after a seeding system was scrapped in 2018. Round Two ties will take place week the week commencing August 22.

Leeds progressed past the second round for the first time in three years last season, reaching the last-16 thanks to a 3-0 win over Crewe Alexandra, and a penalty shootout victory at Fulham. The Whites were then knocked out by fellow Premier League side Arsenal as they were beaten 2-0 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Eddie Nketiah and Calum Chambers.
