Salford City are in the League Cup for the first time after promotion from the National League
League Two newcomers Salford City will face Championship club Leeds United in the Carabao Cup first round.
Salford are in the competition for the first time after promotion from the National League in May.
Huddersfield Town, relegated from the Premier League, host League One club Lincoln City in the northern section.
AFC Wimbledon will also face Milton Keynes Dons, the club that relocated to Buckinghamshire in 2003 from its former Wimbledon home and was later renamed.
Salford, co-owned by six former Manchester United players, will host a Leeds side managed by Marcelo Bielsa, who agreed a contract extension at Elland Road in May.
Leeds were beaten by Derby County in the Championship play-off semi-finals last season.
Elsewhere new Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate, who scored the winning goal in the 2008 final for Tottenham against Chelsea, will come up against Crewe Alexandra at home.
Manchester City are the Carabao Cup holders after they beat Chelsea on penalties in last season's final, the first of the three trophies in their domestic treble.
City will join the competition in the third round along with the rest of the clubs who have qualified for European competitions next season.
The rest of the Premier League clubs, as well as Championship sides Fulham and Cardiff City, will enter the draw in the second round.
