The Whites secured passage into the third round of the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Crewe Alexandra at Elland Road on Tuesday night.

A goal from stand-in captain Kalvin Phillips followed by a double from wide man Jack Harrison was enough to see off the League One visitors in front of a sold out crowd in LS11.

United have now been handed an away tie with Championship outfit Fulham at Craven Cottage in the capital as a result.

The only time the two teams have met previously in the League Cup competition was during in the 1969/70 campaign. Leeds defeated their London counterparts 1-0 as club legend Jack Charlton bagged the winning goal.

Third round ties are due to be played on the week commencing September 20.
