The draw for the second round of the Carabao Cup has been made, with the Premier League clubs not in European competition this season joining the fray.

There are two clashes between two Premier League clubs, with West Ham hosting Bournemouth in the south section and Nottingham Forest welcoming Newcastle to the City Ground in the north section.

The remaining seven Premier League clubs yet to be involved enter the competition in the third round, which is played next month.

There are big clubs involved at this stage, though, with some interesting ties including Middlesbrough taking on Stoke, Everton hosting Doncaster and Wolves facing Burnley at Molineux.

Boro enjoyed a tremendous win in the opening round on Wednesday night, thrashing Leeds United 3-0 at Elland Road.

There was also a 3-0 victory for Plymouth Argyle at home to Cheltenham Town, with Wayne Rooney earning his first win as boss and getting a trip to Watford in the next round.
