And it was the latter that went first, with Portsmouth drawing Millwall and Charlton landing Birmingham.

Other big clashes saw Cambridge Utd host QPR.

While MK Dons will travel to local rivals Watford.

Next up it was the turn of the Northern sides.

The highlight of the draw was a fearsome battle between Leeds and Middlesbrough.

All games will be played on the week commencing August 12.

And fans will be eager to see their favourite EFL stars back in action after the summer break.

The Carabao Cup is currently held by Liverpool, who beat Chelsea 1-0 in extra time at Wembley.

The last time a non-Premier League club appeared in the final was 2013, when League Two Bradford were beaten 5-0 by Swansea.

And the only time a team outside the top flight won it – or any major trophy – was in 1991 as Second Division Sheffield Wednesday beat Manchester United 1-0.
