I expect plenty of changes tonight for the EFL (Carabao) Cup against Burton Albion with Neil Warnock resting many of the squad from the win over Wolves for the last game this weekend coming against QPR before the international break.
Recent signing former Wigan striker Omar Bogle is in line to make his Cardiff debut after he was an unused substitute at Wolves on Saturday.
The line-up I expect will be closer to the one that played in the first-round win over Portsmouth and a very different squad that faced Burton in the opening fixture of the season where the Bluebirds won 1-0 thanks to a late Zohore goal.
A win tonight could see the Bluebirds pull one of the big boys of the Premier League a Manchester United or Chelsea would be a great for the Cardiff City Stadium even an away trip. I am looking for the team picked for tonight’s fixture to carry on the perfect start to this seasons campaign I have always and still believe the League Cup is the easiest route to a Wembley final for a committed team.
The third round draw will take place on Thursday August 24 but wait for it! The draw will take place in Beijing, yes China and at around 11am local time. Do the maths the draw time is around 4am here. You can then follow the unveiling of the fixtures on Twitter via the EFL’s Carabao Cup Twitter feed if they get it right and you are out of bed excitedly waiting.
