- Phil Parkinson will be reunited with his old club when Wrexham play Bradford
Chelsea will host League Two Wimbledon in an all-London clash in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Wimbledon claimed a big scalp in round one by winning 2-1 against Coventry City with two late goals and Mauricio Pochettino will want no such slip-ups.
Elsewhere, there will be two all-Premier League clashes as Fulham welcome Spurs and last year’s semi-finalists Nottingham Forest face newly promoted Burnley at home.
Wrexham are in for an intriguing clash against fellow fourth tier outfit Bradford City, which will see their manager Phil Parkinson reunite with his old club, having led the Bantams to the final in 2013.
Meanwhile, League Two’s Newport County will get a stab at a giant-killing in the form of visitors Brentford, and it’s the same for Doncaster Rovers, who host Everton.
