Bolton Wanderers will find out their Carabao Cup round two opponents on Wednesday night when the draw takes place.

Kieran Sadlier added a third after half-time, before Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley came off the bench to score a stunning fourth. Dapo Afolayan scored a late fifth before George Thomason was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Luke Bolton.

The draw is after the televised game between Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday which kicks off at 7.45pm. That means the Whites should learn their fate around 9.40pm.
Mark Chapman will be hosting the draw and will be joined by Clinton Morrison and Michael Gray. Entering alongside Burnley and Watford will be the 13 Premier League sides not in Europe.
The draw remains regionalised and is unseeded. The remainder of the round one ties take place on Wednesday evening after the bulk were played on Tuesday night.
The second round ties take place the week beginning August 22 and the leading top flight clubs enter the fray in round three, when the competition is no longer seeded. Liverpool lifted last season's trophy after a penalty shoot out win over Chelsea at Wembley.
