Carabao Cup Draw on Thursday - Ipswich Town News
Town will learn their Carabao Cup first round opponents at 7pm on Thursday, having discovered their League One fixture programme earlier in the day.
The EFL announces their fixtures at 9am, when they will be available on TWTD, with the draw for the Carabao Cup made the same evening, live from the Morrisons supermarket in Colindale, close to Wembley Stadium where the final will eventually take place, in contrast to previous draws which have taken place in the likes of Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.
The draw, which will be regionalised on a north-south basis and features 70 teams, will be made by John Barnes and Ray Parlour. It will be live on the Carabao Cup Facebook page, the EFL’s Twitter and on EFL.com. The games will take place in the week starting August 12th.
Last season the Blues were beaten 4-2 on penalties at Exeter City in round one following a 1-1 draw.
