London rivals Charlton, while Brighton take on Portsmouth in an eye-catching
South Coast clash.
EFL newcomers Harrogate face a dream trip to Premier League West Brom while
fellow Sky Bet League Two side Salford also have a Premier League challenge
against Everton at Goodison Park.
In the third round, Premier League champions Liverpool will travel to
Bradford City or Lincoln, while Manchester United are away to Reading or
Luton.
The only confirmed all-Premier League tie in the third round sees Leicester
