The Addicks will host last year’s finalists, Brentford, at The Valley in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Wednesday October 5. But Chris Powell’s men will have to be at their best to overcome the in-form Bees, who have made an impressive start to the season.

The London derby was one of many stand-out fixtures made by the Football League’s partnership manager Stuart Trigwell on Soccer AM, with the help of presenters Helen Chamberlain and Max Rushden.

Rotherham will welcome local rivals and League One favourites Sheffield United, while Bradford will travel to Huddersfield in what promises to be a hard-fought Yorkshire cup-tie.

Full draw:

Northern section (East): Rotherham v Sheffiedl United, Scunthorpe v Oldham, Notts County v Chesterfield, Huddersfield v Bradford.
