Carabao Cup second round fixtures, kick-off times and talkSPORT coverage as Manchester United travel to League Two side

Manchester United will head to League Two Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup this week.

This part of the competition sees the top-flight sides without European football come into the equation.

The highest profile team is Man United, as they came 15th in the Premier League in what was a nightmare season for them.

And a potential banana skin awaits them in Grimsby, a club they’ve not played against since 1948 with the Red Devils set for a trip to Blundell Park.

However, they avoided a Hollywood showdown with Wrexham, with the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned club drawn away to fellow Championship side Preston.

Wrexham booked their place in the second round with a win over Hull City as they came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 before winning the tie on penalties.

Birmingham City will join United and Wrexham in the second round, after they beat Sheffield United 2-1.

An 87th-minute winner from Jay Stansfield means the Blues will now host League One Port Vale at St Andrews in the next round.

Other Premier League clubs entering the competition at the second round include Everton, who will face Mansfield Town at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Meanwhile, Fulham entertain Bristol City, and Brighton travel to Oxford United.

There are two all-Premier League ties too with West Ham going to Wolves and Bournemouth playing host to Brentford.

This part of the competition is regionalised into north and south, meaning there were two pots with two different sets of numbers.

Teams from the North pot could only be drawn against teams in the same pot, and that process is repeated for the South pot.

Due to the huge number of London and southern teams, teams like Wrexham were placed in the north section.
