Chelsea and Tottenham will discover their opponents for round two of the Carabao Cup on Monday night.
The Carabao Cup kicked-off proper last weekend, with clubs up and down the EFL battling it out, all dreaming of reaching the final at Wembley in March.
The second round of the competition is when things heat up as the 11 Premier League teams who did not qualify for Europe enter the draw.
That means that, rather unusually, two of England’s biggest clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham will be in the hat tonight and will have to play an extra round compared to their typical rivals.

However, there are still a few big names in the South section that they’d no doubt want to avoid, like London rivals Fulham, Brentford and West Ham.
And of course, it is possible that the Blues and Spurs could be drawn up against each other…
