Carabao Cup first round draw details - can Peterborough United improve on a miserable recent record?
The first round draw of the Carabao Cup will take place live on Sky Sports News at 4.30pm on Thursday as part of the EFL’s Fixture Release Day.
The League One fixtures will be released at noon and the final part of the EFL Trophy group stage draw will be completed at 2.30pm. Posh already know they will face Trophy holders Luton Town and League Two side Colchester in their group with a Premier League Under 21 side still to be added.
Round one of the Carabao Cup will feature 70 cubs - the two winners from the Preliminary Round alongside the other 68 EFL Clubs - with the draw regionalised into Northern and Southern sections.
The Carabao Cup will kick-off the new season, with first round ties set to be played over the weekend of 7-9 August. Posh will be in the Southern Section of the draw.
Posh have a terrible recent record in the Carabao Cup with seven first round exits in the last nine years, the latest a miserable 2-1 defeat at Accrington Stanley last season.
