It only seems like yesterday since the league season ended but the draw for the League Cup first round has already taken place with Portsmouth hosting Peterborough United.
Given that Pompey were unseeded for the draw this isn't the worst cup tie in the world. It could have been an away draw against a Championship side, after all.
Fratton Park will host the clash with the Posh on the week commencing August 11th. Whilst promotion is going to be the main focus next season, a cup run certainly wouldn't go amiss and this is a winnable game, especially as there are no replays involved.
The league fixtures are released tomorrow morning. Bring on Carlisle away on the opening day!
