The draw for the 2nd round of the EFL Cup was held on Thursday (10th), and the two giants Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, who have not been able to participate in the European competitions this season, will have to start from this round, but the luck of the draw is not as good as it could have been. Chelsea will be at home to host AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup 2, while Tottenham Hotspur will be the guests of Fuhrham in the EFL Cup, which will be one of the two "Premier League internal battles" in this round.
Apart from the 8 teams that will be playing in Europe, the rest of the 12 Premier League teams will be playing in the 2nd round, resulting in 2 "Premier League Civil War" matches, including Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur, and Nottingham Forest hosting Burnley. Tottenham Hotspur last won the EFL Cup in 2008, and this tournament is their biggest chance to break their title drought.
