Carabao Cup third round draw takes place tonight

Albion will be ball 11 when the draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup takes place on Wednesday.

It will be broadcast on Sky Sports at the conclusion of the Preston v Everton tie.

The draw will include 32 clubs – 23 winners from round two and the nine Premier League clubs competing in UEFA competitions.

Draw conditions will only be required for the eight clubs playing in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, due to their European fixtures falling between the same two-week period as Round Three.

Albion may also enter UEFA competition through the Conference League, but that competition does not begin until October, so it does not affect the Round Three schedule.

Before the main draw, there will be a pre-draw (approx. 7:15pm) to decide whether each of the eight Champions League and Europa League Clubs will be at home or away.

In the main draw (approx. 10:20pm) the first eight ties will involve those Champions League and Europa League clubs, with their home or away position already having been decided, and each will be drawn against a club from a separate bowl containing the remaining teams. Once those eight ties have been drawn, the final eight ties will be drawn as normal.
