Chelsea have been handed a favourable home draw against League One outfit Luton Town in the second round of the League Cup.
The Blues are among 11 Premier League sides entering the competition at this stage after missing out on European qualification.
They will begin their campaign at Stamford Bridge against Luton.
Luton will relish the opportunity to visit London and test themselves against one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs under former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.
Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Charlton Athletic, while Newcastle United host West Bromwich Albion.
There is only one all-Premier League clash in the second round, with Nottingham Forest facing Leeds United at the City Ground.

Brentford face a potentially tricky trip to Birmingham City, while Fulham will host AFC Wimbledon in an all-London encounter at Craven Cottage.
Southampton entertain West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley visit Bradford City.
Ipswich Town and Leicester City will also meet in an eye-catching clash, while Cardiff City take on Norwich City.
