Man Utd travel to Grimsby in Carabao Cup second round

Manchester United will face League Two side Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup, plus there are two all-Premier League ties.

Bournemouth will host Brentford while Wolves will play West Ham when the 11 Premier League clubs not participating in a European competition enter the Carabao Cup in the second round.

The draw took place live on Sky Sports, shortly before Championship duo Birmingham and Sheffield United faced off in the first round of the competition at St Andrews Stadium.

The winner of that tie will host Port Vale.

The EFL confirmed Premier League teams that had qualified for Europe last season would receive an automatic bye into round three.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are the nine top-flight clubs who have automatically progressed.
