Liverpool face tough Capital One Cup opener
Liverpool’s defence of the Capital One Cup will begin away at West Brom.
The Baggies pummelled Brendan Rodgers’ side 3-0 on the opening day of the season, and the tie once again pits West Brom boss Steve Clarke against his former employers.
Manchester United have been handed a difficult draw; they host Alan Pardew’s Newcastle United. Losing semi finalists last year Manchester City, meanwhile, take on Aston Villa at the Etihad.
Andre Villas-Boas’s Spurs face a potential culture shock as they travel to League One outfit Carlisle United. Chelsea host recently-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers, who wrapped up the second round draw after winning 3-1 away at Northampton Town.
Arsenal, who have historically fielded youngsters in the competition host Coventry City, who are currently without a permanent manager following Andy Thorn’s sacking.
Everton, who currently hold a 100 per cent record in all competitions this season, face a tough assignment away at Neil Warnock’s Leeds United.
