Town Ball 12 in Carabao Cup Draw - Ipswich Town News

Town are ball number 12 in this evening’s draw for the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Having been promoted to the Premier League, the Blues are not taking part in round one of the competition this year, which got under way last night with further fixtures tonight.

The draw for round two takes place following the live Sky Sports game between Leeds United and Middlesbrough.

Town will be among 13 Premier League clubs who are not participating in European competitions entering the tournament.

The competition remains regionalised with the draw split into southern and northern sections.

Round two ties will take place during the week commencing 26th August.

Last year, Town beat Bristol Rovers 2-0 at home in round one, defeated Reading 3-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the Madejski Stadium in round two, then came from 2-0 down to beat Premier League Wolves 3-2 at home in the third round before exiting to another top-flight side Fulham 3-1 at Portman Road in round four.
