McCarthy’s praying for home draw
Wednesday 26th August 2009, 2:02PM BST.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy does not mind who his side meet in the third round of the Carling Cup as long as they get a home tie.
McCarthy saw his charges book their place in Saturday’s draw with a nerve-wracking 6-5 penalty shoot-out triumph over Coca-Cola League One side Swindon last night.
The third round sees England’s elite enter the fray for the first time due to their involvement in Europe, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa and Fulham all going into the hat.
Port Vale and Leeds are, to date, the only sides below the Coca-Cola Championship to have secured a place in the draw and could be waiting for Wanderers in the next round.
But whoever is pulled out to meet his side, McCarthy just wants to see Wolves’ name first.
“I don’t really have any preferences,” he said. “Somebody at home.”
