City seeded for Cup draw

Last updated : 13 August 2008 By Smallsy
ALTHOUGH the draw does not take place till tonight, Bristol City will most proably start as favourites for their second round Carling Cup tie after being seeded.

Scraping through from last night, City will avoid facing one of the Premiership clubs in round two thanks to last season's performance. All 32 winners from last night will be joined by the winners of tonight's four winners as well as 12 Premier League clubs.

The only Championship clubs City can face at present are Preston, Southampton and Coventry.
