Roy Keane will return to former club Nottingham Forest after his Sunderland side were handed a trip to the City Ground in the Carling Cup second round.

Premier League teams not involved in Europe were put into the draw after the first round matches were completed with several being handed testing ties to be played later this month.

Newcastle will be away to Coventry, top-flight newcomers Hull go to Swansea and Middlesbrough must tackle Coca-Cola League One Yeovil at home.

Hartlepool host West Brom, Macclesfield have a trip to West Ham and Manchester City - who qualified for the UEFA Cup due to their disciplinary record but are not exempt from second-round duties - face a long trip to Brighton.

Blackburn will be at home to Grimsby, Wigan will welcome Notts County and Fulham host Leicester, while Bolton have a home tie against Northampton.

The matches will be played in the week commencing 25th August except Manchester City, due to their European commitments.
