When is the draw CT?

[ollieclarets8]

When is the draw CT?

After the Grimsby game later.

[ollieclarets8]

I'll guess at Huddersfield away.

[Claretnick]

My guess is Bradford City at home

[whiffa]

We're due an away game at Man City in the cup

[exilecanada]

Almost guaranteed Citeh away

[tybfc]

mel - part of the draw is before the game and part afterwards.

You need a science degree to understand how it works but they draw the teams in Europe out before the game and also whether they will play home or away.

Then after the game the rest of us are drawn to join the nine teams in Europe.

Once that done the remaining teams are drawn out as per normal.

[ollieclarets8]

Almost guaranteed Citeh away

Or Lincoln at home...

[exilecanada]

My preference would be Wrexham at home

[FCBurnley]

It won’t be Rovers !!

[aclaretinstevenage]

No' 15 - will play No 6'..........again!

So the teams in Europe won’t play each other. Seems like seeding, which supposedly had been removed from this years competition.

[equinox]

Wigan at home.

[ArmchairDetective]

Selfishly I'd like Wigan away. Did Huddersfield preseason.

[Targetman]

So the teams in Europe won’t play each other. Seems like seeding, which supposedly had been removed from this years competition.

If any of those teams were drawn to play each other it could well clash with their European fixtures meaning the League Cup tie couldn't be played on the intended date.

This problem was caused by UEFA delaying the announcement of their fixture dates.

The 3rd round of the League Cup will be played over 2 weeks to accommodate these 9 clubs.

[Longsider]

Portvale away is my guess

[Leisure]

Is this round still regionalised?

[ollieclarets8]

Is this round still regionalised?

Nope.

[expoultryboy]

Wrexham or Port Vale away

[BleedingClaret]

Grimsby Away

[Leisure]

Anybody as long as it's not Swansea, Cardiff, Southampton or a London club away!

[TomtheClaret]

Cambridge Utd away. Less than a mile away for me! Not played them for 26 years down here

[Leisure]

Anybody as long as it's not Swansea, Cardiff, Southampton or a London club away!

or Brighton!

[TomtheClaret]

What’s this two pots to draw from about?

[ClaretAndJew]

What’s this two pots to draw from about?

To stop the teams playing in Europe from playing each other I believe. The third round clashes with the European competitions

[ollieclarets8]

Get in!

[ElectroClaret]

Grrrrrrrrrimmmmmmssssssbbbbyyyyy
Please God make it stay this way.

[claretburns]

Grimsby at home

[ClaretTony]

To stop the teams playing in Europe from playing each other I believe. The third round clashes with the European competitions

Isn’t that why the games are being played over two weeks?

[123EasyasBFC]

There’s been a pre draw so teams in Europe don’t play each other

I suspect every one of them will play a full reserve team. So they're trying to solve a problem that scarcely exists.

[bfcmik]

Isn't that what we did last night? 0 starters from our win over Sunderland even in the matchday squad.

[ollieclarets8]

Shame but they were always going to win when they came back from 2-0 down.

[Socrates]

Good shout

Whether they play the first, second or u18 is irrelevant, they wouldn’t be able to play the EFL cup game the same week as the European games

If Palace drew Forest in the EFL and Palace were due to play in Europe the first week of the games and Forest the second week, when would they play?

[depechedingle]

Rate this is going, the draw will made in September.

[Commy]

I've aged whilst waiting for this draw.

From the EFL: "The UEFA Conference League, a competition Crystal Palace FC will be participating in should they qualify, is due to begin in October and therefore has no scheduling impact on the Carabao Cup Round Three draw."

[Vegas Claret]

we are all laughing at United, watch us get Grimsby away !

[ollieclarets8]

Good shout

Works every time.

[ClaretTony]

Rate this is going, the draw will made in September.

Much better for the last round when they did the draw before the games.

[wilks_bfc]

From the EFL: "The UEFA Conference League, a competition Crystal Palace FC will be participating in should they qualify, is due to begin in October and therefore has no scheduling impact on the Carabao Cup Round Three draw."

I was just using those two teams as examples.
Can replace them with any other team playing in European cups

[MoorTurf]

Is it not televised on ITV then? No mention of the draw

[Jimmymaccer]

Where’s the draw?

[cockneyclaret]

On sky now

[Jimmymaccer]

It’s on sky sports…….

[mkmel]

Is there a link anywhere to watch the draw for those that don't have Sky?

[Murger]

Talk about complicating it. Just pick the bloody balls out.

[Sozturf7]

When is the draw, are they going to talk about United all night.
