AFC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons have been drawn together in the first round of the coming season's Capital One Cup. Wimbledon, now in League Two and who were formed when their predecessor relocated to Milton Keynes, have visited Milton Keynes once before, in the FA Cup second round in December 2012. On that occasion, MK Dons, then as now in League One, earned an injury-time winner in a bad-tempered game.
Cardiff City, who finished bottom of last season's Premier League, were paired with the League One side Coventry City in the draw. The Bluebirds will travel to Northampton's Sixfields stadium, where the Sky Blues are currently based.
Newly promoted Cambridge United featured in the draw for the first time since 2004, and will face Birmingham City, the 2011 winners, at St Andrew's. Fellow newcomers Luton Town will take on another former League Cup winner, Swindon Town, at Kenilworth Road.
Steve McClaren's Derby County, who lost the Championship play-off final to QPR, travel to Brunton Park to face Carlisle United of League Two. Elsewhere, Leeds will host Accrington Stanley, Nottingham Forest travel to Tranmere Rovers, and Wigan will play League Two Burton.
The draw, which is seeded and geographically divided, marks the first confirmed fixtures of the new football season. The ties will be played during the week beginning 11 August.
