Northampton Town have been handed a dream draw in the EFL Cup third round against Manchester United, while Accrington Stanley were rewarded for their win over Burnley with a trip to West Ham.
The Cobblers shocked West Brom in the second round, winning 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw after extra time and penalty hero Kenji Gorre immediately wished for a tie against four-time winners United.
Matty Pearson's winner in the final minute of extra time ensured Accrington pulled off a shock against Burnley and they will again face Premier League opposition in the next round when they travel to the Olympic Stadium to take on the Hammers.
