The Carabao Cup second round draw takes place before Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday tonight - but what ball numbers should you be looking out for?

Here are the latest transfer rumours from around the web...

Leeds United fans traditionally receive a less-than-warm welcome whenever they visit the grounds of their West Yorkshire rivals Bradford City and Huddersfield Town.

There is a reluctance, almost a shyness, about Marcelo Bielsa when press conferences take a predictable turn and draw him into discussing the men who single him out as their keenest influence. Where Pep Guardiola credits part of his coaching acumen to Bielsa, Bielsa hears only self-deprecation distorting Guardiola’s own genius. “In any of his teams I’ve never seen any sign of my traits,” Bielsa says, though the Championship must be questioning how true that really is.

In bygone eras a £7m transfer fee would have hung around a striker like a lead weight but as Patrick Bamford pointed out after joining Leeds United, the market has lost its marbles. There is no such thing as a going rate these days and no end of deals which make £7m look like pennies.

Patrick Bamford insists he is willing to bide his time behind a “brilliant” Kemar Roofe after claiming his first Leeds United goal in Tuesday’s League Cup win over Bolton Wanderers.

Mallik Wilks has got the world at his feet, according to Doncaster Rovers boss Grant McCann.

Mallik Wilks said he is relishing the scrap to stay in Doncaster Rovers’ starting side after stepping up his impressive start at the Keepmoat Stadium with a third goal in three games.

YEP chief football writer Phil Hay has the last word on Leeds United’s 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Bolton Wanderers.
