Round 2 Draw Tonight

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 13/08/2025

GRIMSBY could be rewarded for beating Shrewsbury with a plum tie against Man Utd or Everton. Town have not played Man Utd since 1948, by far the longest period since they last played any top side.

The draw for the EFL Cup Round 2 takes place tonight at around 19:20 (Sky/ITV).

The 23 games in the Northern Section are:

  • Accrington
  • Barrow
  • Birmingham or Sheffield United
  • Bradford
  • Bolton or Sheffield Wednesday
  • Barnsley or Fleetwood
  • Burnley
  • Doncaster
  • Derby
  • Everton
  • Grimsby
  • Huddersfield or Leicester
  • Lincoln
  • Mansfield
  • Man Utd
  • Port Vale
  • Rotherham
  • Stockport
  • Stoke
  • Tranmere or Burton
  • Wrexham
  • Wigan
  • Wolves

Grimsby are currently the leading scorers in English football with 9 goals in the opening 3 games, so many sides might be hoping to avoid the Mariners.
