Barrow will get to play one of the biggest games in their history next month.

A trip to Premier League Chelsea awaits for the league two side - in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

It's their reward for their second round victory earlier this week, on penalties against Championship side Derby County.

It's the first time the Bluebirds have reached the third round of this competition in 56 years

To avoid fixture clashes with the expanded Champions League and Europa League, a preliminary draw had determined that the first four sides involved in those competitions would play at home, and the latter two would be away.

All ties will take place on the weeks commencing September 16 and 23.
