THE first round draw for the Carabao Cup is taking place RIGHT NOW as fans gear up for the return of club football.
No Premier League clubs will enter the hat at the opening stage as top-flight sides are granted a bye to at least the second round of the competition.
The first and second rounds of the tournament will be regionalised, meaning the 32 teams in the southern section and 38 teams in the northern section will be drawn against another side from the same region.
