After beating Barnsley and Crewe Alexandra respectively, Blackpool and Fleetwood are now two of 37 sides to make it through to the next round.

A fixture against Premier League opposition is a possibility as the teams not playing in European competitions this season enter at this stage.

The draw is still split into north and south at this stage, as was the last round of the competition.

It's worth keeping track of balls 7 and 12 in the north half of the draw and 20 in the south half as that will produce a tie against Marco Silva's Everton, 2015/16 Premier League champions Leicester City and 2017 Carabao Cup finalists Southampton respectively.

Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United will all await the winners of the second round ties as they enter in the third stage of the competition.

Tonight's draw takes place just before kick-off of the final fixture of the first round between Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light at 7pm.
