Today at 1045. Derby are in the Northern half. This year the competition has no extra-time (except the final) and is unseeded. Seems to have gone under the radar unless I've missed a thread on here somewhere.

So is everyone in the draw from the first round?

Yup.....will be at work but hopefully someone can mention in here who we get. Forest would be fun.

That's a yes to the Vietnam question.

No, Prem teams not in Europe join in round 2 with the others in round 3. I think one of the relegated sides from last year's Prem joins in round 2 as well (whoever finished 18th).

And as far as I can tell no-ones offered any reasoning as to why.

All the news just says "Live from Vietnam" like that's supposed to normal.

Hanoi City away would be good.

Seeded?

I don't think so. Regionalised for the first round but doing away with the seeding is one of the changes to the comp this year. Having VAR at the Prem grounds for ties being another.

Well, some prem teams are artificially inseminated into the competition at later stages.

A shame that. With 6 teams left in the hat, we could have got a trip to Shrewsbury, Blackpool, Barnsley or Burton but no, we ended up with Manchester's armpit.

This year is already Burnley's best League Cup run for about 10 years.?

And you think Blackpool or Barnsley is better ????

As an away trip, yes. Blackpool in particular.

It's moot as far as I am concerned anyway - I've just checked the date. I'm going to be on holiday in Ireland.
