Not necessarily an easy match but gives us some proper match practice before the league season kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just have started from the Last 16 with the best 16 PL teams. There are no seeds and it is split into sections to reduce travelling for the teams involved which helps with the cramming in of matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
