The draw for the second round of the Carabao Cup takes place tonight.
A host of Premier League teams will enter the competition at this stage after first-round upsets put Fleetwood, Harrogate and Colchester in the hat for a potentially plum tie.
The top-flight clubs not competing in Europe will be placed into the regional draw, divided into a northern and southern section.
Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham, Everton and Crystal Palace are among the teams involved while Luton and Burnley off the Championship enter here after a first-round bye.
