League Cup second round: All-Premier League tie for Leeds United as Doncaster Rovers eye repeat The Tigers have been drawn away to Stoke City in the second round of the League Cup. Leeds United will play at Nottingham Forest twice in a week after being sent to the City Ground, where they play their opening match of the Premier League season the previous Saturday. For the second season running, Doncaster Rovers will face Middlesbrough, but this time at home. The League One side won 4-0 at the Riverside in last season's first round. Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City have been handed home daws against sides relegated from the Premier League in the spring, in Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley. Sheffield United have an all-Championship tie at Blackburn Rovers, whilst Barnsley host Crewe Alexandra. York City were beaten in a preliminary round game created because of the number of English teams in Europe this season, but of the Yorkshire contingent only Huddersfield Town - on penalties - and Rotherham United failed to progress from the first round. The ties will take place in the last full week of August. Those sides in the Champions, Europa and Conference Leagues will join in round three.
