CITY TO FACE BRISTOL ROVERS AWAY IN EFL CUP

The Bluebirds have been drawn away to Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup...

Cardiff City will travel to the Memorial Stadium to face Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup Round One.

The fixture in the newly-named EFL Cup will take place on the week commencing Monday, 8th August.

The Severnside encounter will see the Bluebirds' Head Coach, Paul Trollope, return to face the side that he managed for five years up until 2010.

City have won their last three matches against Rovers, with our last meeting coming in the same competition back in 2009. Michael Chopra, Peter Whittingham and Josh Magennis were on target for the Bluebirds in the League Cup Second Round match, as City ran out 3-1 winners at CCS.

The date of our EFL Cup First Round fixture, along with ticket information, will be released in due course.
