The first round will see all 48 League One and Two clubs, plus 22 of the 24 Championship opponents who enter at this stage.

Notts, who are ball number 30, are unseeded in the northern section of the draw and could face one of the following opponents on the week beginning August 7:

1. Barnsley
2. Blackburn Rovers
3. Bolton Wanderers
4. Bradford City

16. Sunderland
17. Wigan Athletic

The 2017-18 League Cup final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday February 25.

The draw is regionalised at the first round stage to minimise travel for fans and seeding is based on final league positioning from the 2016-17 campaign.

When I saw that I thought we were taking part in an international tournament against exotic foreign teams!

Alas it's just the League Cup and we've got Scunny away. Don't we play Scunny away every year?
