Can Saints repeat their exploits in 1979 & 2017 by reaching the final, hopefully the 3rd round draw will be kind to them, find out who they have drawn here. One thing for sure it won't be Nottingham Forest from the 1979 final who went out on penalties in the 2nd round.

With four Premier League clubs being knocked out in the 2nd round, namely Nottingham Forest, Ipswich Town & Bournemouth, Saints will be hoping for a favourable draw in a new format where teams in Europe can be guaranteed home ties.

It is bitter sweet for Saints, a trip to Goodison Park to take on Everton, however a good chance to visit the old Stadium in it's final season and not the hardest tie we could have had.

Ties will be played weeks commencing 16th & 23rd September

Liverpool V West Ham United

Manchester City V Watford

Arsenal V Bolton Wanderers

Manchester United V Barnsley

Wycombe Wanderers V Aston Villa

Coventry City V Tottenham Hotspur

Walsall V Leicester City

Brentford V Leyton Orient

Blackpool V Sheffield Wednesday

Preston North End V Fulham

Everton V Southampton

Queens Park Rangers V Crystal Palace

Stoke City V Fleetwood

Brighton V Wolves

AFC Wimbledon V Newcastle United

Chelsea V Barrow

City_boy added 10:29 - Aug 29 The draw for Caribo cup is farcical, with top team exempt from playing each other because they have to play too many games. It must be rough being a top player. They never put out their 1st 11, and these are the teams that have the squads that are best equipped to cope.

Bowlercow added 15:57 - Aug 29 Totally unfair draw Why shouldn't top clubs face each other If it clashes with the euros either put out a reserve side or postpone a league game and play it on a week end
