Newcastle travel to Nottingham Forest in the second round of the Carabao Cup after several thrilling first round ties this week.
As the first cup competition of the season begins, Premier League clubs have now entered in the second round.
Norwich’s 4-3 win over Stevenage sees them take on Crystal Palace next, while Grimsby’s reward for a penalty shoot-out win over Bradford City is a second-round tie with Sheffield Wednesday.
And though the opposition could be tougher, given Premier League sides in Europe will only enter the competition in the third round, the potential for upsets is also greater as lower-league sides look to book their place in the third round.
Check out the draw for the second round below after Middlesbrough’s fine win over Leeds:
