Brighton discover Carabao Cup opponents after third round draw completed

Brighton and Hove Albion will play Portsmouth at the Amex Stadium in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

The tie is scheduled to be played on Thursday, September 17, with kick-off and further details to be confirmed.

The last time the two sides met in a competitive fixture was back in 2012 when Albion triumphed 2-0 in the Championships thanks to a second half brace from Vincente.

Should Albion progress, they will be away to Derby County or Preston North End in the third round, with ties to be played week beginning September 21.

Brighton loanee and former Pompey man Matt Clarke featured for Derby last Saturday as they required penalties to advance beyond David Dunn's League Two outfit Barrow.

Last season Aaron Connolly and Glenn Murray were on target as Albion beat Bristol Rovers 2-1 at Ashton Gate to reach the third round.

A youthful Albion were then knocked out by Aston Villa as they went down 3-1 Amex Stadium last September.

Fixture dates are liable to change.
