Leeds draw Manchester United

by Sean Nolan , 27 August 2011

Leeds United will face Manchester United in the big tie of the third round of the Carling Cup.


The draw was made on Saturday and threw up a number of all Premier League ties but the meeting of the fierce north-west rivals will be one to savour.

The team met in round three of the FA Cup in 2010 and Jermaine Beckford’s goal dumped the Red Devils out in the shock of the round at Old Trafford so Simon Grayson will be hoping for more of the same at Elland Road.

West London neighbours Chelsea and Fulham will play at Stamford Bridge, while Everton will welcome West Brom to Goodison Park.

Manchester City will play holders Birmingham at Etihad Stadium, and Aston Villa will face Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok.

The final all Premier League tie sees Stoke take on Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsenal look to have an easy tie against League Two Shrewsbury Town while Wigan, if they can overcome Crystal Palace in round two, will host Middlesbrough in round three.

Carling Cup third-round draw: Cardiff v Leicester Wolves v Millwall Chelsea v Fulham Aldershot or Carlisle v Rochdale Arsenal v Shrewsbury Burnley v MK Dons Leeds v Manchester United Brighton v Liverpool Nottingham Forest v Newcastle Manchester City v Birmingham Blackburn v Leyton Orient or Bristol Rovers Swindon or Southampton v Charlton or Preston Everton v West Brom Crystal Palace or Wigan v Middlesbrough Aston Villa v Bolton Stoke v Tottenham. Ties to be played in the week commencing Monday, September 19.
