Pompey handed Championship opponent in first round of Carabao Cup - plus who Leeds United, Derby County and Middlesbrough were drawn against

The Blues will welcome the Londoners to Fratton Park during the week commencing August 12.

The game will be Pompey’s first at home this season, after they were handed a trip to Leeds United on the opening day of the 2024-25 campaign. It will be followed by the visit of Luton to PO4 on Saturday, August 17.

Millwall beat the Blues at the same stage of the competition in 2021, after a 2-1 win at the Den. However, their trip to Fratton Park will be their first since April 10, 2012, when both sides went head-to-head in the Championship. On that day, a Harry Kane effort proved the difference as the visitors won 1-0.
