Middlesbrough visit Leeds in Carabao Cup opener

Carabao Cup semi-finalists Middlesbrough have been drawn away to Championship rivals Leeds United in the first round of the 2024-25 competition.

Boro were beaten 6-2 by Chelsea over two legs in January to miss out on a Wembley final, having taken a 1-0 lead against the Premier League side in the first meeting.

Derby County - back in the Championship next term - will host East Midlands rivals Chesterfield, who return to the competition for the first time in six years after earning promotion back to the English Football League.

Sheffield United will face Wrexham in a repeat of their dramatic FA Cup fourth-round tie from 2023, after the Blades' relegation from the Premier League.
