Carabao Cup draw LIVE: Updates and reaction as Leeds, Sheffield United and more learn first round fate

The match at Kenilworth Road will be played on Monday night, the final Championship game of a weekend which begins with a double-header on Friday night as Blackburn host newly promoted Derby and Sheffield United, also relegated from the Premier League, travel to Preston. .

Promoted Portsmouth begin Championship life away to Leeds the following day, with Oxford hosting Norwich – who named Johannes Hoff Thorup in place of David Wagner.

New Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris will begin his tenure away to Cardiff, while Hull boss Tim Walter will host Bristol City in his first league game in charge.

The EFL Cup draw helps mark the start of the new domestic football season, as does the publication of the respective fixture lists for each league.

The Premier League fixture list was made public on 18 June, with the season kicking off in Manchester under Fulham, Erik ten Hag’s side.

Ipswich host Liverpool in their first game back in the top flight, with champions Manchester City taking on Chelsea in the blockbuster opening weekend fixture.

The most successful teams in the League Cup are the following:

Manchester United – 6 wins

A total of 11 teams have won the competition once, including Luton in 1987/88, Stoke City in 1971/72 and Blackburn in 2001/02.

A reminder that Premier League teams do not enter the draw until the second round.

The 13 teams not in European competition – along with Luton and Burnley, who finished 18th and 19th in the Premier League last season – go into the next round, with the other seven going into the third round stage.

Last year’s edition of the League Cup was once again filled with plenty of drama as Liverpool eventually fought back for a tense victory over Chelsea in the final.

Virgil van Dijk scored an extra-time header to seal victory for Liverpool, marking the 10th time the Reds have won the trophy. They have won the competition more than any other team and twice as many as nearest competitors Manchester City.

The victory gave Jurgen Klopp a trophy in his final season in charge of the club.
