The first round of the Carling Cup will be drawn on Friday at 10am. The Blues will be hoping to go rather further in the competition this time around after a succession of exits to lower division teams in recent seasons.

Last season the Blues lost a penalty shoot-out to the MK Dons, while it was Peterborough's turn to win on spotkicks in 2006/07.

Yeovil won 2-0 at Portman Road the previous year, while in 2004/05 the Blues at least made it to the second round before losing at Doncaster Rovers.

A year earlier, Town made it past Kidderminster Harriers but succumbed to Notts County.
