The draw for the third round of the Carling Cup has just taken place and has pitted us at home to our old pre season buddies Crewe Alexandra of League One.
This shouldn't pose Rafa Benitez and his side too many problems and it's more than likely that the fringe players in the squad will get their chance.
Having seen the likes of Diego Cavalieiri, Stephen Darby, Jay Spearing, Kristian Nemeth, David Ngog and even young Dani Pacheco impress in pre season it will be interesting to see how they fair in a more competitive environment if they are given their chance.
Undoubtedly this cup comes fourth in our priorities this season but with an excellent record in the competition, Benitez will hope to go one better than he did in the 2005 final and bring the cup back to Anfield for the first time in six years.
The tie will take place on either 23 or 24 September.
