Wednesday night will see our Carabao Cup campaign begin as we learn our opponents in the third round - but this year the draw will be slightly different.
Due to the expansion of both the Champions League and the Europa League, two additional European matchweeks have been added to the calendar, which coincide with the Carabao Cup third round dates, which be staggered the weeks commencing 16th and 23rd September.
To ensure there is no clash of fixture dates for teams playing in these competitions, two bowls will be used for the draw - bowl one will contain the six teams who have reached the Champions League and Europa League - including ourselves - while bowl two has the other 26 clubs.
