The Carling Cup 2006-07 is the 47th staging of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs. The competition name reflects a sponsorship deal with lager brand Carling.

The competition began in August 2006 with the final scheduled to be played on February 25, 2007. The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff will host the final match, as it has done since 2001 (the reconstruction of Wembley Stadium will not be completed in time to host the final).

Contents

[edit] Format

The competition consists of five single-legged rounds (taking place only on week-nights) before a two-legged semi-final and then a final match at a neutral venue. The venue for each fixture in round one to the finals will not be neutral. It will be the home ground of one of the two clubs in each fixture, and will be decided as part of the draw for each round.

There are no replays in the competition. If necessary, extra-time and and penalties will decide each tie's winners on the night.

[edit] Round one

The 72 Football League clubs compete from the first round, which is divided into north and south sections. Each section is divided equally into a pot of seeded clubs and a pot of unseeded clubs. Clubs' rankings depend upon their finishing position in the 2005-06 season. Therefore the clubs relegated from the Premier League in 2006; Sunderland (north), Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion (south) are the top seeds, and the clubs newly-promoted to the football league, Accrington Stanley and Hereford United, are bottom seeds in north and south sections respectively.

  • At 12.00 BST on June 21, 2006 seeded clubs and unseeded clubs were paired off to create the first round draw.
  • The small numbers represent the seeding.
  • Ties took place on Tuesday August 22, 2006 unless stated.
