Nottingham Forest have been drawn against Leeds United in an all-Premier League clash as the top-flight sides not competing in Europe this season enter the Carabao Cup in the second round.
The draw, made on Monday night, also saw Chelsea and Tottenham drawn at home to League One Luton and second-tier Charlton Athletic respectively, with a further seven Premier League clubs also learning their fate.
The 11 top-flight teams not playing European football this term join those to have progressed through the first round, which include newly relegated West Ham, who beat Portsmouth 3-1 in their opening encounter.
Brentford face a potentially tricky visit to second-tier Birmingham City, Newcastle have been drawn at home to West Bromwich Albion and the winners of tonight’s last opening-round tie, the Devon derby between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter, will face newly promoted Coventry.
Alongside West Ham, Wolves and Burnley were among the weekend winners reaching this stage; they will now play Championship opposition Southampton, and League One sides Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford respectively.
David Moyes faces a reunion with the side where he began his managerial career as his Everton visit Preston North End.
The cup competition remains regionalised for now with the qualifiers split into a north and south section to ease travel demands, limiting the pool of possible opponents for each of the sides.
The second-round ties will be played in the week commencing 24 August.
The nine top-flight sides playing in Europe this season join the Carabao Cup in the third round, with those ties played over the weeks commencing 7 September and 14 September (the latter week will feature clubs competing in the Champions League).
