Carabao Cup confirmed ball numbers ahead of second and third round draws
[ad_1]
It’s been an unusual year and in football it’s been no different.
That continued with the League Cup being the opening weekend of the season rather than league action itself.
As such September’s opening fixtures have seen Football League clubs go toe-to-toe in the first round.
The second round of the Carabao Cup will be played in the first midweek after the League season kicks off.
And now, those Premier League sides who aren’t in Europe arrive on the scene.
Also, due to the condensed nature of this year’s tournament, owing to the late start of the season, the draw for the second and third rounds will be made together.
