Capital One Cup draw

Nine of the 13 Premier League teams in the Capital One Cup second round draw were handed home ties against lower league opposition.

Everton and Aston Villa given home ties; Fulham face Sheff Wed

Nine of the 13 Premier League teams in the Capital One Cup second round draw were handed home ties against lower league opposition. Leyton Orient will get to enjoy a trip to Goodison Park to play Everton, while another League One side Tranmere will travel to Aston Villa. Sunderland will take on Morecambe at the Stadium of Light but Stoke will perhaps be more concerned at the prospect of hosting League Two champions Swindon. The toughest assignment for the Premier League sides appears to have been given to Fulham who go to Hillsborough to play Championship new boys Sheffield Wednesday. The draw was seeded to ensure the 13 Premier League teams and top 12 Championship teams played against lower-ranked sides. The ties will take place in the week commencing August 27 with the 25 winners of these games being joined in the next round by the seven teams exempt due to European commitments.
