Carabao Cup Round Two Draw: Chelsea, Spurs Learn Fate

Chelsea and Tottenham will discover their opponents for round two of the Carabao Cup on Monday night. The draw takes place ahead of the final round one game between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City, and is scheduled to get underway at approximately 7.20pm.

Premier League teams enter the draw

The second round of the competition sees the 11 Premier League teams that did not qualify for Europe enter the draw. This means that, rather unusually, two of England's biggest clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham, will be in the hat tonight and will have to play an extra round compared to their typical rivals.

By virtue of qualifying for the Champions League, holders Manchester City and last season's finalists Arsenal will enter the cup in round three, as will Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool. The same applies for Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Brighton, who are competing in the Europa League and Conference League this season.

How to watch the draw

In the UK, the draw can be watched live on Sky Sports Football. It will be conducted by presenter David Prutton alongside pundits Jobi McAnuff and Jamie Mackie.

Who can Chelsea and Tottenham draw?

At this stage of the competition, the draw is split into two sections: North and South, with both Chelsea and Tottenham in the latter. That means they will avoid several heavy hitters in the second round like Everton, Leeds and Newcastle. However, there are still a few big names in the South section that they'd no doubt want to avoid, like London rivals Fulham, Brentford and West Ham. And of course, it is possible that the Blues and Spurs could be drawn up against each other.
