Hello and welcome to football.london’s live coverage of the Carabao Cup second round draw, as teams discover their opponents.
West Ham United booked their place in the stage of the competition thanks to a 3-1 home win against Championship rivals Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon. A double from Valentin Castellanos and a goal from Jarrod Bowen saw the Hammers come from behind and make it a winning start to the new season.
This stage of the competition sees the majority of Premier League clubs enter, with those not involved in European football, including Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
Like the first round, the draw will again be split into northern and southern sections, with the ties taking place on the week starting August 24, just a few days after the start of the Premier League season.
The draw will take place at around 7.20pm ahead of the last remaining first-round tie between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City. Sky Sports’ David Prutton will host with Jamie Mackie and Jobi McAnuff pulling the teams out.
