Ipswich Town have been provided with a trip to Bromley in the first round of the EFL Cup.

The recently-relegated Premier League side will begin life back in the EFL with a visit to Birmingham City on the opening weekend of the Championship.

That will be followed by squaring off against Bromley, who are preparing for just their second season at League Two level.

Wrexham have been handed a home tie against fellow second-tier opposition Hull City, while Birmingham City have been provided with the tie of the round at home to Sheffield United.

Southampton - who finished bottom of last season's Premier League - will travel to Northampton Town, with Coventry City at home to Luton Town in a repeat of the 2023 Championship playoff final.

West Bromwich Albion will make the trip to Derby County, while last season's Championship playoff semi-finalists Bristol City are drawn to play MK Dons.
