Blackpool will take on Burton Albion in the first round of the EFL Cup.

The draw, which took place live on Sky Sports News, handed the Seasiders a trip to the Pirelli Stadium - with the tie set to take place on August 13/14.

This fixture will come just days after the opening weekend of the League One season, where Neil Critchley’s face Crawley Town at Broadfield Stadium on August 10 (K.O. 5.30pm).

Blackpool suffered a 1-0 loss against Burton when they visited the Brewers on Boxing Day in League One, and will be hoping for an improved performance this time around.

A Jake Beesley brace helped the Seasiders to a 2-0 away victory over Derby County in the opening round of the EFL Cup last year, before their run in the competition was brought to an end with a 5-0 defeat to Wolves a few weeks after.

The tournament will remain regionalised for the opening two rounds, before the northern section and southern section combine from the third round onwards.
