I wonder, is there a chance we could draw a team in a country where fans can attend games? And if so, will we get an away allocation? My mate had told me that the games will be in neutral venues but reading this thread it seems it will be randomly home or away.

Nope - UEFA have said all qualifying games will be behind closed doors to reduce the home advantage. So no chance until the Group Stage at least.
Kane is probably the only one who starts for England right now. Would Winks, Dier, Rose or Dele start right now? It is not like when we had 4 or 5 players in the team.
It's the least important competition and we aren't going to be playing the first XI 8 times in two weeks so it is what it is.
There is no first thing as a first XI anymore. Modern day football is a squad game. I think some youngsters will play in the League Cup however, the majority will be from the first team squad.
Fucking hell! The leagues need to band together and pay off UEFA (and other relevant stakeholders) and the PL needs to pay off the lower tiers to stop the Nations League and League Cup, respectively, from taking place this season. Unless they want a bunch of their star players having potentially career-ending seasons..
The "pay-offs" are to remunerate for losses from not holding the tournaments because we all know none of the organisations involved will do what's best for the players when it comes into conflict with their financials.
Unironically.
Sadly, it's far more likely that this season ends his career if too much pressure is put on him with that fixture list.
I want Spurs to win every competition they are in, but the League Cup is objectively the least important trophy for us to be fighting for.
Our U23s have withdrawn from the EFL trophy so there's most of our League cup squad you'd imagine.
If we have a run of opponents like that with Jose in charge, we have to be winning this competition.
If one image ever summed up our need for a proper back up striker...
Time to do a SAF and announce a niggling injury for Kane days before the England games. He did it with Rooney for years
