Oxfrord United will discover their first competitive fixture of the new season this morning with the round one draw for the Capital One Cup.
Michael Appleton’s men, who receive their Sky Bet League Two schedule tomorrow, will be in the unseeded pot when the ties are announced at 10am.
The opening round is again regionalised, predominantly along north/south lines.
QPR, relegated from the Premier League last season, are among the U’s potential opponents, along with Swindon Town and Reading.
The cup provided two of the U’s highlights from the last campaign, with a 2-1 win at Bristol City in the first round.
It set up a trip to West Bromwich Albion, who only squeezed through on a penalty shoot-out.
The ties will be played during the week starting August 10, following the opening game of the League Two campaign.
FIND out who Oxford United will face in the first round of the Capital One Cup from 10am today at oxfordmail.co.uk/sport and on Twitter @ OxfordMailOUFC.
And tomorrow from 9am we will also have the U’s full league fixture list.
