Aug 12 2010 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

LEE CLARK welcomed the prospect of a trip to Everton in the Carling Cup and predicted: “It should be a great night for the club.”

Town were pre-drawn to be away in the seeded second round, and will face the Merseysiders in the week beginning August 23.

It’s the second clash between the pair in the competition, with Everton winning 3-2 on aggregate in 1998-99, when the second round took place over two legs.

It will be decided on the night this time, and Clark, whose side were 1-0 winners in their first-round clash at Carlisle United on Tuesday, said: “You always want to be at home, but if you have to be away, it’s good to be going to a club of Everton’s stature.
