Everton will this evening discover their opponents for the second round of the Carabao Cup.
The Blues have exited the competition in the third round during the previous two campaigns, falling to a humiliating 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth last term after losing on penalties to Championship outfit QPR in 2021/22.
Sean Dyche's priority this term will be securing a comfortable Premier League finish, though a successful cup run would certainly be welcomed among supporters as the club look to bring an end to a 28-year wait for silverware.
The biggest shock of last night's first-round ties saw League Two Gillingham earn a 3-1 victory over Southampton, meanwhile Salford City earned a surprise away win at Preston North End.
