Manchester City and Manchester United are still on the sidelines, but the Carabao Cup’s second round promises some thrilling matchups, especially for local sides like Bolton Wanderers.
As Premier League teams gear up to join the Carabao Cup fray, the second round draw is set for tonight, right after the final whistle of Leeds United versus Middlesbrough at Elland Road.
The draw will include all top-flight clubs not competing in Europe this season. Local teams such as Bolton Wanderers, eagerly awaiting their fate, are hoping for a favorable draw. However, Salford City and Wigan Athletic, both owned by the Class of 92, were knocked out earlier this week, while Stockport County faced a heavy defeat from Blackburn Rovers.
Big names like Newcastle United, West Ham, and Everton are also set to learn their second-round opponents as the competition heats up.
