The teams of Mudryk, Mykolenko and Yarmolyuk found out their opponents in the English League Cup

The draw for the second round of the English League Cup (Carabao Cup) took place, which presented fans with several intriguing confrontations with the participation of representatives of the elite. London's Chelsea will face Luton Town, while Tottenham will host Charlton at home. Another highlight of this stage will be a duel at St. Mary's Stadium, where two recent Premier League participants — Southampton and West Ham United — will meet. As in the previous stage, the second round draw was strictly regionalized. Mykolenko, together with Everton, will travel to the representative of the Championship - Preston North End. Yarmolyuk and Brentford will play their match on the road, where their opponent will be the ambitious Birmingham City. The teams were divided into Northern and Southern sections. This approach has traditionally been used in the early stages of competitions to limit logistical costs and reduce travel distances for clubs and their fans. The second round matches are scheduled for the week commencing Monday, August 24. The exact dates and start times of each match will be confirmed by the organizers at a later date. We will remind that the current owner of the trophy is Manchester City. Last season, the city won their ninth League Cup thanks to a Nico O'Reilly double in the second half of the final against Arsenal at the legendary Wembley This victory became historic for the then coach of the team Pep Guardiola - he became the first manager to win this tournament five times.
