Leeds United will face Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup second round. The Whites are currently 14th in the Premier League, with 47 points from 38 games, and have scored 49 goals this season, conceding 56. They are 38 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race.
The Carabao Cup is a prestigious competition, and a win for Leeds United would be a significant boost to their season. However, the draw has caused a fixture headache for Fulham and Chelsea, who could play two games in the midweek.
Why it matters for Leeds United
The Carabao Cup is a chance for Leeds United to win a trophy and bring some silverware to Elland Road. A win against Nottingham Forest would be a significant achievement and would show that the team is capable of competing with the best teams in the league.
The second round of the Carabao Cup is due to take place in the midweek of the week commencing Monday, 24 August. Leeds United will face Nottingham Forest at home, and the match is expected to be a tough one. The team will need to be at their best if they are to come out on top.
