Jack Wilshere's Luton Town managed to come out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Robbie Savage's Forest Green Rovers in the pick of the first-round action, and have earned a trip to League Two Fleetwood.

Grimsby Town were unable to continue their heroics in the Carabao Cup after being eliminated by Premier League outfit Brentford, but they will have a chance to continue a second cup run after being handed a favourable tie against National League side Wealdstone.

The lowest-ranked team in the competition, Slough Town, who sit 21st in the National League South, will be at home to Macclesfield.

Premier League and Championship sides join the competition from the third round.
