AFC Bournemouth host Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup third round at the Vitality Stadium.
AFC Bournemouth host Lincoln City at the Vitality Stadium in the Carabao Cup third round, with the game falling in the week starting 7 September. It's a home tie for the Cherries, who were handed the home draw in the pre-draw because of their Europa League involvement, which placed them in pot one. That European spot is a first for the club, coming after they finished sixth in the Premier League last season. Marco Rose is the manager leading the side into this one.
Lincoln City arrive here after a convincing 4-1 win over Blackpool to reach the third round. The goals came from Tanto Olaofe, Tom Bayliss, Rob Street and Callum Elder, and they're managed by Chris Cohen, who works alongside Tom Shaw. It's a trip down south for the Imps, who'll be looking to carry that momentum into the Vitality.
Bournemouth have had a tough run in the League Cup lately. They've been knocked out in the second round in each of the last two seasons, both times after fourth-round exits. Last term they went down 2-0 at home to Brentford, with Fabio Carvalho and Igor Thiago on the scoresheet. This is a chance to turn that around on their own patch.
