CHERRIES will find out tonight who they will face in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Andoni Iraola’s men booked their place in the draw, with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Swansea City last night.
Goals from David Brooks, Hamed Traore and Ryan Christie secured the win against the Championship side.
From round three onwards, the draw is no longer regionalised, meaning Cherries could face any of the other 31 clubs remaining in the competition.
