Because the Champions League and the League Cup are played over the same two midweeks.

So every Champions League team is guaranteed a free midweek to play the League Cup.

But if they were drawn together they might be playing opposite weeks in Europe and have nowhere to fit the League Cup game in.

Ah that makes sense, originally thought they were just splitting the CL and EL keeping them apart, not splitting both over 2 weeks. So there'll be 15 weeks of CL Group Stage football (last fixtures all synced), that's horrendously long.

Chelsea aren’t seeded as even if they progress tomorrow, the ECL doesn’t start until October.
