EFL Cup second round draw: Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle learn opponents

Chelsea have been handed a home tie against Luton Town in the EFL Cup second round.

Having missed out on European qualification, the Blues - as well as the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United - are among 11 Premier League clubs who enter the competition at this stage.

Xabi Alonso's side will take on League One club Luton, who are managed by former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere.

Meanwhile, Spurs will play host to Charlton Athletic, while Newcastle United have been handed a showdown with West Bromwich Albion.

There is just one all-Premier League tie, that being Nottingham Forest squaring off against Leeds United at the City Ground.

Everton will make the trip to Deepdale to play Preston North End as David Moyes goes back to one of his former clubs.

Birmingham City and Brentford meet in another eye-catching tie, while Fulham will welcome AFC Wimbledon to Craven Cottage for a London derby.

The second-round ties take place on the week commencing August 24.
