Rather healthy number of games for Leicester, Sheff Wed and Notts County though.

Bromley (A) 1st Round Carabao Cup confirmed for Saturday, 8th August 3pm KO.

Are R1 league cup games ‘red buttoned”? Think they were last season but probably because they were midweek games?

Reasonable chance Mansfield (H) gets moved from Tuesday 1st September to Wednesday, 2nd September thanks to Sky and a backlog of fixtures. Standby..

Fulham play Chelsea in the Premier League on Monday, 24th August live on Sky which is the same week as the Carabao Cup R2. That means neither Chelsea or Fulham can play Tuesday and in almost certainly not on the Wednesday either meaning they will have to play on the Thursday. Chelsea drew Luton at home. That would mean Luton’s scheduled match with Mansfield is changed from Saturday 29th August to Sunday 30th which would mean our match with Mansfield goes from the Tuesday to the Wednesday to enable sufficient rest.

Clyde- changing the subject, someone on X is claiming 16,500 tickets sold for Saturday. Do you agree ?

Assuming the seats which aren't put on sale are the same as last season (ie. the bottom rows of the North Stand; any segregation; etc.), then we're nowhere near 16,500. It looks around 9,800 home fans (plus disabled and hospitality) so far.

The 16,500 figure seems to be based on assuming every greyed out seat on the ticketing website has been sold, which is never the case.

As a result of the expanded European competition calendar, and the associated fixture clashes it presents, the EFL will again be required to implement additional conditions for the Carabao Cup Round Three draw.

Carabao Cup Round Three fixtures will take place across two weeks (week beginning 7 and 14 September), with fixtures in the UEFA Champions League (week beginning 7 September) and UEFA Europa League (week beginning 14 September) also scheduled during this period.

As UEFA competition fixtures cannot be rescheduled, and to enable the Carabao Cup to proceed within its agreed schedule without disrupting other League or domestic cup fixtures, the additional conditions will ensure that the eight Clubs participating in the Champions League or Europa League cannot meet each other in Round Three of the Carabao Cup.

Before the main draw, there will be a pre-draw to decide whether each of the eight Champions League and Europa League Clubs will be at home or away. This will take place live on @SkyFootball during the build-up to Preston North End’s Round Two tie against Everton.

In the main draw, to be conducted after the Round Two tie, the first eight ties will involve those Champions League and Europa League Clubs, with their home or away position already having been decided, and each will be drawn against a club from a separate bowl containing the remaining teams.

Once those eight ties have been drawn, the final eight ties will be drawn as normal.
