Leeds United host Middlesbrough in the first round of this season's Carabao Cup after last season's edition of the tournament saw Liverpool lift the trophy.
Leeds go into this game after an underwhelming draw against Championship-newcomers Portsmouth. Leeds dominated the match but failed to take chances whioch oin the end cost them. An improved result against Championship opposition would help the spirits in Elland Road.
Middlesbrough started the Championship in better fashion as they won their opener against Swansea thanks to a penalty from Emmanuel Latte Lath. An away trip at Elland Road at this early stage of the season is a big test for Boro.
Home: 4/7 (1.57) - 63.6%
