Home game. Good. In between Watford away and Burnley at home.

Ooo thought was Rovers or Bristol City.that part confused me lol

Urghhhhhhh don't go outfirst stage! especially at home be even worse

[Jase 43,479]

We have been drawn against Bristol Rovers/Bristol City but Bristol Rovers face Cardiff City in the first round and Bristol City have beaten Wycombe.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

[Jase 43,479]

UEFA's draw looks uncomplicated all of a sudden.

[Laylabelle 9,293]

Hahaha wtf!!!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Bristol Rovers at home it is then. 

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Remember playing Bristol Rovers in 1980 we beat them 1-0 with a goal by Gary Chivers. The game at Eastville was a bit lively to say the least we lost 3-0 and there was loads of trouble with many Chelsea fans getting banned for life.

Bradford..Brentford..Burnley..Barnsley..we are annoying against teams that begin with B. Dont care how this cup is seen a. It's a chance to win a trophy and b.going out on our first round at home be awful so hopefully can give this a good go

Im really happy.

Im from the West and been waiting all my life for Chelsea to play one of the Devon or Bristol sides, would have preferred Exeter or Plymouth but beggars can't be choosers.

No was at the home game against Bristol Rovers. I was at the Watford away game on the video. Chelsea's away support in those days was the best in the country if you compare it to our home gates. We would get home crowds on average 18-20,000 and we had at least 6,000 at that Bristol Rovers game so we would take about a third of our home crowd to away games sometimes more.

Feck... Wanted an easy draw at home.

Damn, followed the draw live and was almost relieved when I saw the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool all get drawn elsewhere but then we get the only remaining "tough" draw and away nonetheless.

Remains to be seen how much effort Leicester will be putting to the League Cup though. They have so many fixtures coming up this season and with the CL group stages and PL games surely taking priority over the EFL Cup we may see a severely weakened Leicester side here.

[Jase 43,479]

Of course we had to get the toughest draw of all the big teams...

[Laylabelle 9,293]

Oh bloody hell!! Just remember being there for that stupid 4-3 league cup win at the Bridge..back when results like that were more shocking now case of pfft we let in 3...

They go to Anfield on 10th of September, then four days later they play their first CL group stage match, then it's Burnley at home on 17th of September, Chelsea at home in the mid-week and then they go to Old Trafford on 24th of September. CL group stage match again a few days later.

So pretty much a busy schedule for them in the span of two weeks and a half. Liverpool and United away, Chelsea at home, plus two CL matches. And Burnley at home as well. Think they will most definitely use a mixed team for this one.
