Town have drawn Premier League Fulham at home in round four of the Carabao Cup.

The Blues, who came from two goals behind to beat Wolves 3-2 at Portman Road last night, are in the last 16 of the competition for the first time in 13 years.

Fulham, currently 11th in the top flight, beat Norwich City 2-1 at Craven Cottage this evening to reach round four.

Round four ties will be played in the week commencing October 30th with it appearing likely that the Town-Fulham match will be on the Wednesday with the Whites in Premier League action against Brighton on the preceding Sunday.

The teams last met in the competition at the second round stage in September 2020 when the Cottagers ran out 1-0 winners, Aleksandar Mitrović the scorer of the game's only goal.

The clubs also faced one another in the tournament in a two-legged tie in 1973 when the first leg in London ended 2-2 before the Blues won 2-1 at Portman Road

In 1996, again over two legs, the Craven Cottage match ended 1-1 before the game in Suffolk ended 4-2 to the Blues.

PSGBlue added 22:55 - Sep 27 At first glance it does not seem like a game for TV with plenty of other all Premier league ties. But is Sky are looking for an upset type match, then our game stands out as being a possibility.

carlgibbs13 added 01:21 - Sep 28 Yes, they’re doing better than Wolves, but still only 2 wins all season with 1 being away and an awful defensive record. This is a winnable game for us, but also easy to lose. As long as we give a good account of ourselves as playing Premiership clubs can only benefit us in the league.
