Leeds United welcome last season's semi-finalists Middlesbrough to Elland Road for, arguably, the standout tie in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

The two teams are among the biggest hitters in the Championship and, despite being a cup clash, a victory would build confidence and momentum to take into the bread and butter of the league campaign.

Leeds were involved in the most entertaining fixture on the opening weekend of the domestic season as they twice fought back to draw 3-3 with promoted Portsmouth, although Brenden Aaronson went from hero to zero by missing a glorious chance at the death to secure all three points just moments after netting a late equaliser.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, kicked off their promotion push in a more sedate manner as Emmanuel Latte Lath's first-half penalty was enough to see off Swansea City.

Boro, who won this competition in 2004, arrested recent poor performances in the Carabao Cup by reaching the last four last term, while 1968 winners Leeds' most recent first-round exit came all the way back in 2015.
