Town will be ball number 15 in Thursday evening’s Carabao Cup first round draw.

The EFL announces their fixtures at 9am, when the Blues' League One fixtures will be available on TWTD, with the draw for the Carabao Cup made at 7pm 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 is regionalised on a north-south basis and features 70 teams but with seeding having been abandoned last year, 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.

JewellintheTown added 12:56 - Jun 19 In numerology (study of numbers), 15 is considered very lucky. 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, 25, 31 .. etc. OK, I'm grasping at straws but we need every bit of luck we can get at the moment.

Pendejo added 13:26 - Jun 19 Close to Wembley stadium? Everything is relative I guess. Washbrook to Portman Road is a similar distance, wouldn't particularly consider it close. I guess there'll be a large display of the eponymous energy drink behind Barnes and Parlour (doubt either of them played in this round did they?) Did Morrison's win some sort of competition to hold this? Most product sold in 2018? Why not at Wembley itself or Etihad (home of the holders)?
