Town will be number four in this weekend's draw for the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup, which will be held during Sky’s Soccer Saturday from 12.20pm. The Blues are the only Football League side left in the competition.
It’s the first time in 10 years that Town have made it to a League Cup quarter-final, Manchester City having been beaten 2-1 after extra-time at Maine Road at the same stage in 2000/01. The game had to be rearranged after originally being abandoned due to heavy pre-match rain.
Quarter-final ties are scheduled to take place in the week commencing November 29th.
