Leeds United handed tough away trip to fellow Premier League side in Carabao Cup third round

Leeds United will make the trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The match with Bruno Lage's side and the rest of the third-round ties are scheduled to be played on the week commencing 7 November in what is a repeat of the opening day and one of seven all Premier League ties.

Leeds secured their passage into the next round of the competition this evening thanks to a 3-1 win over Barnsley. Luis Sinisterra and Mateusz Klich (2) were both on the score sheet for the Whites, who were pegged back to 2-1 in the first half thanks to Mads Andersen’s goal.

Wolves, meanwhile, defeated Championship side Preston North End 2-1 on Tuesday night to progress to the third round. Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore were on the scoresheet at Molineux.
