Ipswich Town will be involved in the Carabao Cup second-round draw on Wednesday evening.
It will take place following the conclusion of Leeds United's tie against Middlesbrough, which kicks off at 8pm.
The Blues will be one of the 13 Premier League clubs not participating in European competitions to enter the tournament, while Burnley and Luton Town will also be in the hat. The remaining sides in the Championship, League One and League Two will face off in the next two days to earn a spot in the second round.
The draw will remain regionalised, meaning that the teams will be split into a northern and southern section up until the third round. Ipswich, of course, will be placed in the southern section. As always, there will be no extra time if the ties end level, instead going straight to penalties.
