City will be ball No.11 in Carabao Cup draw

City will be ball No.12 in the northern section of the Carabao Cup second round draw on Wednesday night.

The Imps booked their place in the second round with an impressive 3-0 win at Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday, and will find out their next opponents on Wednesday night.

The draw will take place live on Sky Sports following the conclusion of the Sheffield Wednesday v Sunderland fixture.

Sky’s new Carabao Cup presenter for 2022/23, Mark Chapman, will host the draw with former Owls’ striker Clinton Morrison and Sunderland hero Michael Gray selecting the ties.  


The 13 Premier League Clubs not competing in European competitions enter the cup in round two alongside Burnley and Watford from the Sky Bet Championship.
