It will be a rematch of last year’s FA Cup semifinal in the third round of the League Cup, should Chelsea progress past Luton Town tomorrow night in the second round of the competition. That’s certainly a juicy matchup with plenty of recent and ancient history to it, especially as it would be played at Stamford Bridge.
Should we win tomorrow, this match would be played the week of either September 7 or September 14. And it would be one of six all-Premier League matchups, which could lead to some interesting matchups later on in this year’s competition.
The draw, in full, for the third round of the League Cup is as follows:
