In the northern section, Football League newcomers Accrington Stanley have been drawn at home to former European Cup winners Nottingham Forest.
Meanwhile, newly-relegated 2001 finalists Birmingham City will be at home to League Two side Shrewsbury.

The 72 clubs are split geographically into north and south regions, with half the clubs seeded.
The seedings are based on last season's league positions, so all the clubs from the Championship plus the top finishers in League One are in the seeded group.
The 12 Premiership clubs not involved in European competition will join at the second round stage, with the eight other sides, including holders Manchester United taking their place in the third round.
Ties will be decided on the night, with extra time and penalties if necessary
