Tuesday 8 August 2017 11:29, UK
The 2017/18 Carabao Cup first round gets underway on Tuesday night, with 18 Sky Bet Championship sides in action.
Local sides Sheffield Wednesday and Chesterfield meet for the first time in five years at Hillsborough in one of the most intriguing ties of the round, while big-spending Wolves will host Yeovil - who will be aiming to bounce back from their 8-2 drubbing at Luton in League Two on Saturday.
The Hatters themselves will host Championship side Ipswich as they look to continue their good start to the season, while another fourth vs second-tier encounter sees Fulham make a short trip west to face Wycombe Wanderers.
Cardiff and Portsmouth, whose last cup meeting came in the 2008 FA Cup final, face off at the Cardiff City Stadium, while an all-west London affair sees League One AFC Wimbledon hosting Championship Brentford.
Forest Green Rovers will play their first ever League Cup match against MK Dons, Norwich host Swindon, Derby travel to Grimsby and Coventry face Blackburn.
