Liverpool head to Exeter and Scunthorpe entertain Newcastle
Exeter City will entertain Liverpool in the second round of the Carling Cup, while Newcastle United travel to Scunthorpe United.
Premier League giants
Liverpool were famously knocked out of the competition by Northampton Town last season and will be anxious to avoid another giant-killing at the hands of Paul Tisdale's
Exeter at St James Park.
Newcastle, meanwhile, were the victims of an FA Cup upset at the hands of Stevenage last term and Alan Pardew will hope for better luck away to League One side
Scunthorpe.
There are also several ties which pit Premier League clubs against League Two opposition, including promoted
Swansea City heading to
Shrewsbury Town.
Aston Villa are at home to
Hereford United,
Bolton Wanderers are at home to
Macclesfield Town, while
Northampton will have another top-flight scalp in their sights when
Wolves visit Sixfields.
Premier League new boys
Queens Park Rangers and
Norwich City are at home to
Rochdale and
MK Dons respectively, while
Blackburn Rovers welcome
Sheffield Wednesday to Ewood Park.
Everton play host to
Sheffield United,
Sunderland travel to
Brighton & Hove Albion and
West Bromwich Albion are away to
Bournemouth.
Football League new boys
Crawley Town could face Premier League opposition at home in the guise of
Wigan Athletic if Steve Evans' side can overcome
Crystal Palace.
Outside of the top flight and there is a Yorkshire derby as
Doncaster Rovers are at home to
Leeds United, while
Huddersfield Town travel to
Cardiff City.
Barnet and
Morecambe both won away at Championship opposition in the first round and have the same opportunity in the second round after being drawn away to
Burnley and
Millwall respectively.
Bury also knocked out a second-tier side in the first round and will welcome ambitious
Leicester City to Gigg Lane.
