Aston Villa has been drawn at home to third tier side Tranmere in the second round of the League Cup.
The fixture is a repeat of the 1994 semifinal which saw Tranmere, then in the second tier of English football, lose 5-4 on penalties after drawing 4-4 on aggregate after two matches. Villa went on to beat Manchester United 3-1 in the final, one of its five cup triumphs.
Elsewhere in Wednesday's draw, Everton was handed a home game against Leyton Orient, also in the third tier, and Sunderland will play fourth tier Morecambe at the Stadium of Light. Fulham travels to Hillsborough to play Sheffield Wednesday.
