Leeds United's Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea date and TV details confirmed

The Whites will travel to Stamford Bridge for the cup clash, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.

The match has also been selected for live television coverage on Sky Sports Main Event.

Leeds booked their place in the Third Round following an impressive 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in midweek.

Daniel James gave the Whites the lead shortly after half-time before a late second goal secured progression and set up a meeting with Chelsea.

The trip to Stamford Bridge will give Leeds an opportunity to continue their EFL Cup campaign against one of the Premier League's biggest sides.

The two teams met on three occasions last season, with Leeds enjoying one particularly memorable victory at Elland Road.

Daniel Farke's side defeated Chelsea 3-1 in West Yorkshire during an impressive run of results.

Jaka Bijol, Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were all on the scoresheet as the Whites produced one of their standout performances of the campaign.

Leeds will now hope to produce another memorable result when they travel to the capital next month.

Ticket information, including prices and details regarding the club's allocation, will be announced in due course.

The match takes place just days after the Premier League's international break, with Leeds supporters now able to put a date in the diary for one of the club's biggest cup fixtures of the early season.
