Wednesday will be at home to Bolton after this afternoon’s regionalised Carabao Cup first round draw.

Ties are to be played across the weekend of August 7-9, seven days ahead of the start of the league programme.

Meanwhile, we will face Sunderland under-21s in the regionalised group stages of the EFL Trophy.

We were already in a section with Salford City and Accrington Stanley and we now know we will also take on Sunderland’s youngsters after 16 under-21 squads from the Premier League – eight apiece from the North and South – entered the draw this afternoon.
