FINALLY, we close today's small slate with the final match of the First Round in the Carabao Cup / EFL Cup. For those that don't know, this is a tournament of any club within the top four levels of the English football league system (92 teams in total). The best teams (in the Premier League), do not play in the first round. Over the weekend, the field was cut from 90 teams to 56, and after the match today it will be 55 remaining. After today's match, the Second Round draw will be made consisting of 46 teams: 35 winners from the first round, and the 11 Premier League teams not involved in European competitions. That said, today's match is: . . . - Plymouth Argyle (English League One) v. Exeter City (English League Two), 2:00pm Central, Paramount+ . . . . The winner will move on to the Second Round of the Carabao Cup / EFL Cup. . . . . This has been TODAY IN SPORTS. Thanks!
