Burnley and Sunderland to meet in League Cup for first time
Sunderland were just down the road tonight in Accrington and their 3-1 win has given them a return to East Lancashire in two weeks time when they will be at Turf Moor for the League Cup 2nd Round.
It’s just three seasons since we played them in the FA Cup, drawing 0-0 at the Stadium of Light before beating them 2-0 in the replay with goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray but we’ve never previously met in the League Cup.
The game will be played week commencing 26th August with the likely date being Tuesday, 27th August.
