Leicester City will discover their Carabao Cup second-round opponents tonight when the draw takes place live on Sky Sports at 7:20pm. Following a 1-0 win over Northampton Town, the Foxes enter the regionalised southern section alongside 35 potential rivals.
Russell Martin’s side kicked off their cup campaign at the King Power Stadium with a tight 1-0 victory against Northampton Town, secured by a single goal from Caleb Okoli. Now, attention swiftly shifts to the second-round draw. Fans can tune in to Sky Sports at approximately 7:20pm on Monday 10 August to watch the balls drop. David Prutton, Jobi McAnuff, and Jamie Mackie will conduct the draw ahead of the Devon derby clash between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City.
The EFL Cup maintains its regional split for round two to cut down travel time and expense. Despite Leicester sitting right on the geographic divide, organizers placed the Foxes in the southern section. That leaves 35 potential opponents waiting in the hat. Big Premier League heavyweights Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur enter at this stage, presenting immediate danger. Potential Midlands derbies against Coventry City or big-spending Birmingham City also loom as high-stakes options.
Other potential ties range from Championship opposition like West Ham United, Southampton, and Watford to League Two outfit Walsall. The second-round fixtures are scheduled for Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 August. That places the cup tie squarely between Leicester’s home fixture against Burton Albion and a trip to face Milton Keynes at Stadium MK.
Every single Carabao Cup tie will be shown live on Sky Sports, while terrestrial coverage on ITV offers minimal free-to-air games. Unless the Foxes draw Chelsea or Tottenham, international viewers on CBS Sports Golazo or beIN SPORTS provide the main watching platforms. Leicester must brace for whatever the draw throws their way.
