Following the conclusion of the first round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, the draw has been made for the second round which sees several Premier League clubs enter.

Thirteen top flight teams, headlined by Arsenal, will take part in round two (which is regionalised by north and south) with the other seven absent due to their involvement in European competition this season.
