Everton handed second Carabao Cup home tie

Everton will take on Southampton in the Carabao Cup’s third round.

Goodison Park is set to host its second cup encounter of the season after Sean Dyche’s side were pitted against their Premier League counterparts.

The Blues booked their place in Wednesday’s draw with a comfortable 3-0 win over Doncaster in which new recruit Iliman Ndiaye opened his account.

A date for next month’s tie is yet to be finalised but the competition will be spread across successive weeks commencing September 16 and 23.
