2006–07 Football League Cup

The winners were Chelsea, beating Arsenal in the final 2-1 after two goals by Didier Drogba.

The competition consists of five single elimination rounds (taking place only on week-nights) before a two-legged semi-final and then a final match at a neutral venue.

It will be the home ground of one of the two clubs in each fixture, and will be decided as part of the draw for each round.

The 72 Football League clubs compete from the first round, which is divided into North and South sections.

Therefore, the clubs relegated from the Premier League in 2006; Sunderland (North), Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion (South) are the top seeds, and the clubs newly promoted to the Football League — Accrington Stanley and Hereford United — are bottom seeds in north and south sections respectively.
