Frank Lampard's first cup game as Derby County manager will be away to Oldham Athletic following the draw for the first round of the Carabao Cup.

Lampard won the competition twice as a player with Chelsea, and the tie was one of 35 first-round fixtures drawn in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

Beaten Championship play-off finalists Aston Villa will travel to League Two side Yeovil Town.

Last season's semi-finalists Bristol City will host Plymouth in round one.

Lee Johnson's side beat Argyle 5-0 at the same stage last season before going on to defeat four top-flight clubs on their way to the last four, where they lost to eventual winners Manchester City over two legs.

The only relegated Premier League side in the draw, West Bromwich Albion, face a tricky-looking tie at home to newly-promoted League One side Luton Town.

Third-tier Sunderland will host Championship club Sheffield Wednesday, big-spending Nottingham Forest will meet Bury and Leeds United, under new boss Marcelo Bielsa, have been drawn at home to Bolton.

Ties will be played in the week commencing Monday, 13^th August.

OH YEAH @Switzerlineker WITH THE IMPORTANT TOPICS!

[Lineker]

Live games this week are Yeovil Town v Aston Villa on Tuesday and Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday on Thursday.

[Baddar]

Some rule changes;

No extra time, with the exception of the final. Straight to pens if level after 90mins.

Pens will follow the traditional ABAB system, not the ABBA system trialled last season.

Yellow cards are competition specific and won't impact league suspensions.

Take the L, my dude. Absolutely NOTHING wrong with his goal either. But still, tit.

Joey Barton will take Fleetwood to Leicester City in a mouthwatering Carabao Cup second-round tie for his League One side.

The former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder will pit his wits against Claude Puel at the King Power Stadium after Fleetwood were drawn against the Premier League side on Thursday.

Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham will visit League One AFC Wimbledon, while Rafael Benítez’s Newcastle will travel to Nottingham Forest of the Championship.

Brighton will host Southampton in the only all-Premier League tie. The seven top-flight clubs involved in Europe will enter the Carabao Cup in the third round.

Four debuts from players that featured in the U23s last season.

I don't think our paper thin club is taking this game seriously...

[Liam]

Fulham have made 11 changes, which means we now field a team with Ryan Sessegnon, Alfie Mawson, Stefan Johansen, Frank Zambo Anguissa and Rui Fonte, among others. Not a bad second team in theory at least.

[Lineker]

Lol West Ham.

[MDK]

Berahino scored

[FLiam]

West Ham are definitely winning this.

See.

[Cymbols]

Steve Bruce is such a tit

[FLiam]

A Huddersfield player scored a fantastic own goal tonight. Up there with Duberry and Dixon.

 

[Matt]

It looks bad but it was in the dying seconds, he was trying to hoof it back up field and sliced it.

[MDK]

Put a quid on Forest to win 3-1 but I think I might have overestimated Newcastle. 

[MDK]

Shit my bet might still be on

[Colly]

You deserve it. Clap clap, clap clap clap. 

[Gazz]

Michael Wyrkradly Dumny, football genius.

[stokeriño]

How much have you won, @MDK?
