Carabao Cup second round draw details as Burnley enter the competition alongside Chelsea, Everton, Nottingham Forest & Sheffield United

The first round stage of the competition got underway last night, while the remaining fixtures will be played this evening.

Gillingham pulled off a shock last night by beating Southampton 3-1, while Salford City and Stevenage beat Preston North End and Watford respectively on penalties.

The Clarets were knocked out at the last-16 stage last season after losing 2-0 to Manchester United, who went on to win the competition with a win over Newcastle United in the final.

Vincent Kompany’s side overcame Shrewsbury Town and Crawley Town during the opening rounds.

Here are all the key details ahead of the draw:

Yes. Like the first round of the competition, the 48 clubs will be divided into two pots of 24 - one a northern draw and one a southern draw. The exact splits have not yet been confirmed.

When will second round ties take place?

The week commencing August 28. Burnley are in Premier League action against Aston Villa on Sunday, August 27, so this means their Carabao Cup game is likely to take place the following Wednesday, rather than the Tuesday, to give them longer time to prepare. Kompany’s side host Tottenham the following weekend.
