Carabao Cup second round draw 2022: Which numbers are Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United - how to watch

After a first round that saw nine Championship teams surprisingly fall at the first hurdle, the Carabao Cup continues with the second round of fixtures.

Carabao, an energy drinks company based in Thailand, is the sponsor for the League Cup this year -having been the official sponsors since the 2017/18 season. Their deal is set to last until the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign.

Both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday have yet to make it through the first round, however. Sheffield Wednesday will take on Sunderland at home, while Sheffield United will not play until August 11, where they will face an away game against West Bromwich Albion.

When is the Carabao Cup second round draw?

The second round draw for the 2022/23 Carabao Cup will take place at the conclusion of the Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland first round tie, which kicks off at 7:45pm.

Therefore, the draw should take place at around 9:45pm - no later than 10pm (assuming there is no lengthy penalty shootout at the end of any of the preceding games).

What channel is the draw on?

The draw will be available for viewing on Sky Sports Football, immediately following the Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland game.

Alternatively, you can watch the results of the draw live on Twitter or on the BBC Sport website.

What numbers are Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup second round draw?

If they both get through, Sheffield United will be ball number 26, while Sheffield Wednesday will be represented by ball number 25.

Who could Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United be drawn against?

Assuming that both teams win their first round games, they could potentially be drawn against each other - which would create the first Steel City Derby since 2019.

As for where other local teams are concerned, Doncaster Rovers crashed out of the competition after being beaten 3-0 at home to Lincoln City. Rotherham United and Barnsley both play tonight, where they will face Port Vale and Middlesbrough, respectively.

The teams who enter the competition in the third round are as follows: Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham United. Therefore, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United cannot be drawn against any of these clubs in the second round draw.

These teams automatically qualify for the third round due to them qualifying for a European competition last season. This includes the Champions League, the Europa League and the Europa Conference League.
