League CupIt's into the section of 25 unseeded clubs that United go then after defeating Accrington Stanley 1-0 at the opening hurdle on Saturday. The Blues, in a non-regionalised home or away draw seeing a few big fish out there with 13 Premier League clubs now joining the competition. The only sides still absent at this stage being the seven clubs that are in Europe this season, those being Arsenal, Chelsea, cup holders Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.

There are still some potentially nice looking home draws though with clubs like Burnley, Everton, Leeds United and Sunderland all in the bag based on last season's league positions. One side that won't be there though are last season's finalists Cardiff City who surprisingly lost 2-1 at Northampton Town tonight, while Stevenage, Carlisle's opponents on Saturday in their first League One game of the new campaign, have progressed safely into round two after defeating AFC Wimbledon 3-1 at home this evening.
