Carabao Cup Second Round Draw Throws Up South Coast All-Premier League Clash
The Carabao Cup's second round draw has thrown up an all-Premier League south coast clash between Brighton and Southampton as top flight sides enter the competition.
13 Premier League teams enter the competition at the second round stage, with the European septet of Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley all coming in a round later.
Nine matches in the first round went to penalties, with the competition's rules doing away with extra time this season - with home sides winning seven of those.
The most impressive performances of the first round came from Mansfield, who dispatched Accrington Stanley 6-1 at Field Mill, and Blackburn - who made a lightning start on the road at Carlisle United to lead 4-1 at half-time, closing the game out at 5-1 in a comfortable second half.
Blackburn's reward for their huge win at Brunton Park is a home draw against Lincoln City, while Mansfield travel to the Hawthorns to face West Brom.
