James Morrison will then take his Albion side to the New York Stadium to face fourth-tier outfit Rotherham United on Saturday tea-time. Here is everything you need to know about the draw for the next round. When will the draw be? The draw for the second round of the EFL Cup will take place during the build-up to the Devon derby between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City on Monday, August 10.
