West Ham meet Millwall; away ties for many Premier League clubs

Premier League side West Ham have been handed a mouth-watering Carling Cup second round tie against arch-rivals Millwall. The two London sides have not played each other in over four years, last facing-off in a 2005 Championship game that finished 1-1. Last season's Carling Cup runners-up Tottenham will travel to the Keepmoat Stadium to face Championship side Doncaster in the second round. Manchester City also have a potentially tricky away tie, against Crystal Palace, while Premier League new boys Burnley and Birmingham will also enter the competition with a game away from home. Port Vale, who provided the biggest upset of the first round by beating Sheffield United on Tuesday, will face the Blades' neighbours Sheffield Wednesday in the next round.
