Eleven Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, and Leeds, are set to learn their opponents in the Carabao Cup second round draw, which takes place this evening. The draw will be conducted ahead of Plymouth Argyle's clash against Exeter City.
Draw details and participants
The 11 top-flight sides will join the 35 winners from the first round, with Charlton, West Brom, and Sheffield United among those already securing their places in the hat. The draw is scheduled to be hosted by Sky Sports presenter David Prutton at approximately 7.20pm, with pundits Jobi McAnuff and Jamie Mackie joining him.
Regionalised draw and potential matchups
The ties will be played in the week beginning August 24th, as teams begin their quest for silverware. For now, the draw remains regionalised into northern and southern sections, with seeding only coming into play from the third round. This means Chelsea and Tottenham could potentially face each other, given that neither club has qualified for European competition this season.
