Leeds to visit Chelsea or Luton in Carabao Cup as Newcastle date stays Monday | OneFootball

Leeds United will travel to Chelsea or Luton in next month’s Carabao Cup third round, with an away tie confirmed in Wednesday night’s draw.

They booked their place by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Tuesday at the City Ground, with second-half goals from Daniel James and James Justin. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, they will face the winners of tonight’s meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are strong favourites to beat League One Luton, so Leeds could face Premier League opposition again.

Third-round ties are slated across two weeks next month, the week commencing September seven and the following week commencing September 14.

Importantly, the draw clarified Leeds’ Premier League meeting with Newcastle at Elland Road. Had either club drawn Champions League opposition, the Monday September 14 fixture would have moved to Saturday September 12. Newcastle will visit Millwall and Chelsea are not in Europe, so it remains a Monday night clash.
