A reminder that the draw will take place live on Sky Sports News.

There are certainly some interesting potential ties in the first round, with the regionalised system offering the potential for many local rivalries to be played out.

Up north, Stoke City and Port Vale could be a tasty fixture, as could Blackpool v Preston North End. Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday would be a real stand-out fixture.

In the south, a Bristol derby would stand out, as would AFC Wimbledon v MK Dons. Cardiff v Swanses is always an interesting one, though we see plenty of that fixture nowadays.

Between 2005 and 2013, the competition was against dominated by what is now the ‘Big 6’, with Spurs winning their fourth trophy in 2008 with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

In 2011, Birmingham beat Arsenal 2-1 courtesy of an 89th-minute goal from Obafemi Martins.

Though the winners often come from the top Premier League sides, there’s plenty of variation in the other sides who make the final.

Since 2000, teams including Tranmere Rovers, Bolton, Wigan, Cardiff, Sunderland and Southampton have all made the final.

The first round fixtures will take place in the week commencing 12 August – the same week the lower leagues begin their league campaigns.

The competition has been dominated by the bigger sides of late, with Swansea City the last team outside of the Premier League ‘Big 6’ to win the competition. That victory came in 2012/13, when they beat an overachieving Bradford City side who were in League Two at the time!
