Carabao Cup draw LIVE - start time, ball numbers, stream as Everton learn second round opponents

Hello and welcome to our live-blog for the Carabao Cup second round draw.

Everton are among the Premier League teams entering the competition at this stage. Top-flight clubs who aren't in the Europe for the upcoming season are in the hat - including Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea following their disappointing campaigns.

The Blues entered at this stage last season against Fleetwood Town, beating the Cod Army 1-0. They would bow out in the third round after a chastening defeat to Bournemouth.

Tranmere Rovers picked up an impressive win over League One side Barnsley. Ian Dawes side ran out 7-6 winners on penalties after the two teams couldn't be separated at Oakwell.

Rovers are looking to better last season's showing as they beat Accrington Stanley before welcoming Premier League opposition in Newcastle United. Elliott Nevitt scored against the Magpies but Eddie Howe's side would edge them out at Prenton Park.

This week we have already seen upsets as Southampton were dumped out by League Two Gillingham in a humbling 3-1 defeat, Salford City and Crewe Alexandra also progressed at the expense of Championship opposition via penalty shootouts.

The final six ties of the first round will be played tonight before the Blues will learn their fate at around 10:15 pm upon conclusion of Leicester City's trip to Burton Albion.

Martin O'Neill and Wes Morgan have the power in their hands as they will decide the schedule for the next round. We will be bringing you all the latest scores and fixtures that are pulled out of the hat.

The Carabao Cup was one of the few competitions that evaded Manchester City as they etched their names in the history books after securing the treble.
