The same also applies to Luton Town, but having finished bottom of the top flight Sheffield United don’t receive a bye.

The 13 Premier League clubs not participating in European competitions also won’t enter the competition until the second round stage.

The Carabao Cup, won by Liverpool last season, remains regionalised in the early rounds with the draw split into a southern and northern section until round three.

Last season, Burnley beat Nottingham Forest and Salford City in the opening rounds before losing 3-0 away to Everton in the third round.
