United set to welcome Hodgson's Palace in League Cup


Winner last season

Holders Manchester United will face Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace in the third round of the League Cup - as the two sides prepare to meet in the competition for the first time since 2011.

United enters the competition at the third round stage as one of England's representatives in European competition.

Erik ten Hag lifted the competition last season - beating Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley, to claim their first trophy in six seasons.

It was United's sixth success in the Football League Cup - five of which have come in the last 18 seasons. 

Crystal Palace are yet to win the competition, and were knocked out of last season's competition at the third round stage after a penalty shoot-out defeat to eventual finalists Newcastle, at St James' Park.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United entertain Manchester City, while Salford City welcome Burnley. Lincoln City's home clash with West Ham United is another eye-catching tie, while it'll be a League Two v. League One affair when Peterborough United head to Mansfield Town.
