The draw takes place after the Grimsby v Man Utd game tonight. It's slightly complicated.
The teams involved in Europe are in one pot. Everyone else is in the other. None of them Euro teams can play each other so the first draw will be to determine whether each of them will be at home or away.
Then they will be drawn against teams drawn from the other pot. After that, the other ties will be drawn from the one remaining pot in the traditional manner.
The date for each of the Euro team's ties will be determined by whichever week they aren't playing in Europe, either week commencing 15th or 22nd of September.

Why do they have to make things complicated? To ensure the big boys win?

Don't forget global tellybox revenue. As the big boys get a free pass to this point they should all play away as the default option, but when did commonsense ever play a part in this?

Yes. All to make it easier for the so called big 6 or whatever it is now. That doesn't include Man Utd anymore.

We'll have Grimsby at home then - that will pack 'em in, to a few rows in a couple of stands.
