Leeds defeated Hull on two occasions last season, and their most recent meeting resulted in an emphatic 4-0 Whites victory as Marcelo Bielsa’s side hit peak form before the suspension of football.
Since their first fixture against each other in 1920, which ended in a 1-0 Leeds win, the Peacocks have won a total of 25 matches against the League One outfit, along with 15 defeats and 12 draws.
Manchester City will begin their quest for a record-equalling eighth Carabao Cup with a third-round tie against Bournemouth or Crystal Palace, while Leicester City face Arsenal at the same stage.

The Whites lifted their one and only League Cup trophy in 1968 after defeating Arsenal 1-0 in the final, but have failed to surpass the quarter-finals stage since they last reached the final in 1996, when they lost 3-0 to Aston Villa.
Marcelo Bielsa is yet to enjoy any major success in the competition, having fallen in the second round in his two attempts as Leeds boss, losing 2-0 to Preston two seasons ago before losing to Stoke City on penalties last year.
