Shrewsbury Town hero Will Brook names his dream Premier League Carabao Cup opponents

Hero Will Brook is dreaming of a Premier League big-hitter after sending Shrewsbury Town into the Carabao Cup second round.

Shrewsbury will discover their second-round opponents in Monday night’s draw, with 11 top-flight sides entering the competition. The draw remains split into northern and southern sections until the third round.

Brook, who saved four penalties in Town’s shoot-out victory over Salford City, is eyeing a clash with Leeds United or Nottingham Forest, where he came through the youth ranks.

Asked who he would like to face, Brook said: “I haven’t thought about it, to be honest. There’s a few, to be fair.

“It’s always good to play against people who I used to play with, like at Nottingham Forest and Leeds.

“So, I am looking forward to playing any of those teams who involve some of them or just another big club, to be fair.”

The Premier League sides entering the competition at the second round are Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham, Newcastle United, Everton, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City.

However, Shrewsbury will only be in the pot with some of those sides because of the north-south split.

Town kicked off their new campaign with victory at Salford. Summer recruit Josh Davison put them ahead before the hosts hit back after Gavin Cowan’s side were reduced to 10 men following Sam Stubbs’ sending-off.

Town missed several chances to win the tie during a tense penalty shoot-out, but Arkell Jude-Boyd eventually netted the winner, with Brook having made four saves.

Brook said: “There's not really too much pressure on us. Obviously, 12 yards out, you’re meant to score, one verses one with the keeper?

“It’s our chance to prove ourselves and be that person who helps the team win. So, yeah, I am buzzing.”
