Teams that qualified for Europe this season don't enter until the 3rd Round, so there is no chance of drawing Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Blackburn or Newcastle yet. Premiership teams in the draw are Aston Villa, Bolton, Charlton, Everton, Fulham, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Reading, Sheffield United, Watford and Wigan.
9 teams from the Championship crashed out of the competition last night, while a further 5 are hoping to avoid being on the end of upsets tonight. Crystal Palace were one of those who fell at the first hurdle, losing to Notts County, as manager Peter Taylor continues to wait for his first win in the League Cup since September 2001.
The teams that did make it through, along with Hull City, are: Accrington Stanley, Barnet, Barnsley, Birmingham City, Brentford, Bury, Carlisle United, Cheltenham Town, Crewe Alexandra, Darlington, Derby County, Doncaster Rovers, Hereford United, Hartlepool United, Leeds United, Leicester City, Luton Town, Mansfield Town, Millwall, Milton Keynes Dons, Notts County, Peterborough United, Queens Park Rangers, Rotherham United, Scunthorpe United, Southend United, Walsall and Wycombe Wanderers.
Tonight's fixtures are: Brighton v Boston, Chesterfield v Wolves, Port Vale v Preston, Sheff Wed v Wrexham, Southampton v Yeovil, Torquay v Norwich. The final match of the round is tomorrow, when West Brom travel to Leyton Orient.
