When is the Carabao Cup draw?
CARABAO have become known for using wacky venues for their draws.
But after using a Morrisons supermarket for round one, they’ve gone more traditional with rounds two and three.
The draw will take place TONIGHT – Wednesday, August 28.
It will be held pitch-side at Cincil Bank after Lincoln City’s clash with Everton at around 9.45pm, but closer to 10pm if the match goes to penalties.
Which TV channel and live stream can I watch the Carabao Cup draw on?
THE second round clash between the Imps and the Toffees is live on Sky Sports Football and Main Event.
