When is the Carabao Cup second-round draw?

The draw for the second round of the Carabao Cup will take place tonight (Wednesday 14 August).

The draw is expected to take place at around 10pm BST, although it could be closer to 10.15pm BST if Leeds vs Middlesbrough goes to penalties. Why that game specifically? See below...

How can I watch it?

In the UK, the draw will air live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports News. Leeds vs Middlesbrough will air live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event, and is the later kick-off (8pm compared to 7.45pm in the earlier games), which is why it may affect the time of the draw. Sky subscribers can also watch the draw live on the Sky Go app.
