Gone are the days when the end of a round's action would be immediately followed by the draw for the next round as a new season and new sponsor means it is all change in the competition this year.
With Thailand-based drinks company Carabao on board the EFL Cup is going global with draw for the third round taking place in Beijing.

If it's your side doing the giantkilling, you then get to bask in the glory of dominating the headlines for a few hours at least before thoughts start to turn to the next round.
Chelsea at home? Maybe Manchester United away? It's every lower league football fan's dream...
