AFC Bournemouth will play at home to Blackburn Rovers in the third round of this season's Carabao Cup following this evening's draw.

The match will be played in the week commencing Monday 24th September, with further information on tickets and confirmed kick-off details to follow in due course.

The third round draw saw the introduction of the Premier League clubs playing in European competitions and, unlike the previous round, was not regionalised.

Bournemouth booked their place in the third round after a 3-0 win over MK Dons at a packed Vitality Stadium on Tuesday night, Lys Mousset, Ryan Fraser and Jordon Ibe scoring the goals to help the side progress.
