Everton's Goodison return on the cards after Carabao Cup draw

The Carabao Cup draw has thrown up a peculiar prospect: Everton could be back at Goodison Park sooner than expected. According to Mirror Football, Preston North End used the famous stadium to beat Huddersfield Town in the first round, and they will now face Everton in the next round.

That means Goodison Park could host an Everton fixture again, assuming the tie is staged at the old ground. The exact details of the fixture have not been confirmed, but the possibility alone has captured the imagination of supporters.

For Preston, a trip to Everton’s former home in the previous round proved fruitful, and they will hope for a similar outcome when they meet the Premier League side. Whether Everton will indeed walk out at their old stadium remains to be seen, but the draw certainly provides a talking point.
