Ipswich Town are in the hat for tonight's Carabao Cup third-round draw.

The Blues progressed by beating League One side Leicester City 3-1 at Portman Road yesterday evening.

As a result, they will be ball 15 in the draw, which is expected to take place at around 10:15pm after Preston's game against Everton.

NEW RULES

The third round of the competition is set to clash with the new expanded European competitions. UEFA competition fixtures cannot be rescheduled.

As a result, the eight teams playing in the Champions League or Europa League - Bournemouth, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Sunderland - will be seeded into a separate pot and cannot face each other.

There will be a pre-draw at around 7:20pm to decide whether these teams will play home or away in the next round.

Third-round fixtures will take place over a two week period, the weeks beginning September 7th and September 14th. Europa League sides will play in the first week, while Champions League sides will have their games in the second week.

There is no regional split in this draw. Ipswich can face any of the other 31 teams in the hat.
