EFL Cup draw (Burton away)

[ScouseFox]

really nice that. winnable game for us and at least 3 top half prem teams in the bin, with a decent shout of getting a league one team in the quarters. (fully aware we will get man city if we get there but it is still a decent chance)

If we win at burton, we have a 50% chance of drawing a league 1/2 club in the quarters .......

Like being in 2012 again- Burton in the cup and Don Goodman pissing us off.

[Tuna]

We're winning it.

[The whole world smiles]

Where are the cup draw conspiracy nuts that usually come out of the woodwork that think it's rigged to stop the big clubs meeting and basically screw Leicester?

[kingfox]

Too much over confidence on here.

 

Burton 1-0 Leicester - Choudhury Own goal.

That can't be right there are only 7 other teams left if we get through.

[oxtonfox]

Goodman aside hopefully we beat the Brewers and it’s Colchester or Crawley in the next round. Great draw for us but beware Burton at their ground.

Chuffed with this, I was born and bred in Burton.  XX

[Guest Manini]

I feel like we play Burton a lot in the league cup. Or maybe I’ve imagined it. I remember when they beat us at home in the 1st round. 

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

I have never seen a draw go that much in our favour

 

Clearly rigged for us to win it.

 

WEMBERLLYYYYY

Was big Nige the manager then? 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Will be 5 Prem teams, 2 League One/Two teams and Leicester or Burton in the quarters...

Yes and his son played his one and only game for us that day too.

[lgfualol]

Decent chance to go thru. Nacho to bag a hatty.

Still on to play Man City in the quarter finals then 

Third time lucky!

Seriously we've had a right result with that draw. And with West Ham and Spurs already out, that's two teams who could have conceivably have won it already out of the picture.

Great for our fans- short trip plus a terrace. Difficult game though.

 

It could’ve been a lot more difficult. If we’re going into this as a ‘difficult game’ we may as well not bothered entering the competition. Drawing Burton in the Last 16 is a very favourable draw.

Actually it’s about 14% of getting a league one side, and about 14% chance of getting a League 2 side.

[Brainy]

Bit premature but need to go strong for this one with a max of 3 of the big 6 waiting in the next round and atleast 2 L1/2 sides in.

 

Similar side to yesterday with maybe Soyuncu in for Morgan, Vardy in for or playing with Perez

And 100% chance of Man City at home
