 ATHLETIC will face Sky Bet Championship opponents again in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

The draw has handed Lee Johnson’s men a tasty home tie against Aitor Karanka’s Middlesbrough, who narrowly missed out on the second-tier play-offs in May.

Last season Athletic went down 1-0 at the same stage at home against Derby County.

The Boundary Park clash will be played during the week commencing August 11.
