So it’s Wolves again in the League Cup after this afternoon’s draw paired us with the side who knocked us out of the competition last season at the same stage. The Cobblers went down 4-0 at home to Wanderers on that occasion and it will be another struggle to get past them as their ranks look to impress new boss Stale Solbakken.
Here is the full draw, with matches set for the 28th and 29th August:
Watford v Bradford City
Swansea City v Barnsley
Yeovil v West Bromwich Albion
Coventry City v Birmingham City
West Ham United v Crewe Alexandra
Doncaster Rovers v Hull City
Carlisle United v Ipswich Town
Reading v Peterborough United
Sheffield Wednesday v Fulham
Leicester City v Burton Albion
Burnley v Plymouth Argyle
Queens Park Rangers v Walsall
Stevenage v Southampton
Nottingham Forest v Wigan Athletic
Stoke City v Swindon Town
Aston Villa v Tranmere Rovers
Crawley Town v Bolton Wanderers
Gillingham v Middlesbrough
Northampton Town v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Everton v Leyton Orient
MK Dons v Blackburn Rovers
Leeds United v Oxford United
