Updated League Cup draw: Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United as shoot-outs set up two Yorkshire derbies

Sheffield Wednesday and Bansley both won League Cup shoot-outs to set up Yorshire derbies in the second round.

And Huddersfield Town will win a trip to big-spending Premier League new boys Sunderland after knocking Leicester City out on spot kicks.

A hugely inexperienced Sheffield Wednesday team took a 3-3 draw at Bolton Wanderers, then triumphed on penalties to set up a home tie with Leeds United which will be both exciting in a footballing sense and important in a footballing one.

Barnsley knew that victory at home to Fleetwood Town would set up an Oakwell game against South Yorkshire rivals Rotherham United.

They won 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes.

League One sides Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City missed out on plum ties after beating Championship opposition in round one.

Doncaster travel to league Two Accrington Stanley, whereas Bradford are at Championship Stoke City.

The draw was split into a northern and southern section, limiting the travel for away teams.
