Carabao Cup round two draw numbers with Bolton…

Carabao Cup round two draw numbers with Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Leeds & Aston Villa in hat

Bolton Wanderers will find out their Carabao Cup round two opponents this evening when the draw takes place.

The Whites booked their place in the next round following a 5-1 win over Salford City. Brandon Thomas-Asante put the visitors in front, but Wanderers equalised through Elias Kachunga and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson ensured Wanderers went into the break ahead.

Kieran Sadlier added a third after half-time, before Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley came off the bench to score a stunning fourth. Dapo Afolayan scored a late fifth before George Thomason was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Luke Bolton.

The draw remains regionalised and is unseeded meaning Bolton could face top flight opposition while they could also be handed a Lancashire derby. Entering alongside Burnley and Watford will be the 13 Premier League sides not in Europe. That means the likes of Newcastle, Leeds, Aston Villa, Wolves and Everton are potential opposition in the north section.

The draw is after the televised game between Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday which kicks off at 7.45pm. That means the Whites should learn their fate around 9.40pm. Mark Chapman will be hosting the draw and will be joined by Clinton Morrison and Michael Gray.

The second round ties take place the week beginning August 22 and the leading top flight clubs enter the fray in round three, when the competition is no longer regionalised. Liverpool lifted last season's trophy after a penalty shoot out win over Chelsea at Wembley.
