Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest in the second round of the Carabao Cup after several thrilling first round ties this week.
As the first cup competition of the season begins, Premier League clubs have now entered in the second round.
Norwich’s 4-3 win over Stevenage sees them take on Crystal Palace next, while Grimsby’s reward for a penalty shoot-out win over Bradford City is a second-round tie with Sheffield Wednesday.
And though the opposition could be tougher, given Premier League sides in Europe will only enter the competition in the third round, the potential for upsets is also greater as lower-league sides look to book their place in the third round.
Check out the draw for the second round below after Middlesbrough’s fine win over Leeds:
Noussair Mazraoui completes move to Manchester United
Manchester United have completed a £51.8m double deal from Bayern Munich by bringing Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt to Old Trafford.
United have taken their tally to four summer signings with the €15m transfer of full-back Mazraoui, whose fee could rise by a further €5m in add-ons.
He has signed a four-year contract at Old Trafford, with the option of a further year, and the signings of Mazraoui and De Ligt mean United have now spent almost £250m on former Ajax players in manager Erik ten Hag’s reign.
However, Mazraoui’s arrival was funded by selling right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham for £15m earlier on Tuesday.
