THE Carabao Cup draw is back, with the EFL hoping the process will go more smoothly this time around.
After mishaps in each of the previous five draws, the balls will be pulled out in a more traditional way for the semi-final.
The EFL have been mocked for errors ranging from announcing home teams as playing away in the second round to a one-hour delay caused by a Twitter error, which forced the quarter-final draw to be made on pre-recorded video.
And the organisation was also panned for holding the third round draw at 4.15am in China.
