We had all forgotten about the League cup or EFL Cup as it is now called with the excitement of Europe, but we are now in it and start with a home tie.
Saints will play Crystal Palace at home in the EFL Cup, a tough draw for Saints who have been knocked out by the Eagles in the FA Cup at St Mary's in each of the past two seasons and were also dumped out of the League cup itself back in 2011/12 season at Selhurst Park.
The game will be played in the week commencing September 19th.
