Leeds United and Middlesbrough face off in a tantalising Carabao Cup tie, offering a chance to see two Championship hopefuls battle it out for a place in the next round.
Leeds began their season with a thrilling 3-3 draw against Portsmouth, showcasing their attacking intent but also highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Middlesbrough, meanwhile, enjoyed a more measured start, securing a 1-0 victory over Swansea City courtesy of a first-half penalty from Emmanuel Latte Lath.
This clash holds historical significance, with Middlesbrough having lifted the trophy in 2004. The Teesside outfit also reached the semi-finals last season, demonstrating their recent resurgence in the competition. Leeds, winners in 1968, last exited in the first round in 2015, seeking to recapture their former glory.
