The draw for the Carabao Cup third round takes place tonight.
Manchester United take on League Two Grimsby in the pick of the second-round ties after Sunderland and Leeds were the Premier League teams to suffer upsets on Tuesday.
Cambridge, Port Vale and Bradford put their name in the hat after knocking out teams in higher divisions, giving themselves a chance of a big-name tie.
The nine Premier League teams involved in European football join the action for the third round, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and last season’s winners Newcastle among those finding out their opponents later on.
The Carabao Cup will no longer be split between southern and northern regions from the third round onwards.
Teams playing in the Champions League will also be kept apart from those in the Europa League and Conference League, with a pre-draw to determine whether they will play at home or away.
