Liverpool's trip to Burton in the second round of the EFL Cup will be shown live on Sky Sports 1 HD later this month.

The match, on Tuesday, August 23, comes before Accrington's clash against Lancashire neighbours Burnley, which will also be shown live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Wednesday, August 23.

Eight-time EFL Cup winners Liverpool were beaten on penalties in last year's final against Manchester City, but will be looking to start another run to Wembley at the Pirelli Stadium, the home of the Championship side.

Burton, managed by former Liverpool midfielder Nigel Clough, saw off Bury 3-2 in the first round on Wednesday night.

Accrington and Burnley, separated by just eight miles, will be facing off in a competitive fixture for the first time since the 19th century, live at 7.45pm from the Crown Ground.

Accrington made it to the second round after a dramatic 11-10 penalty shoot-out win over Bradford on Tuesday, following a 0-0 draw.
