Carabao Cup: Shrewsbury Town to travel to Nottingham Forest in first-round
Shrewsbury Town will face Nottingham Forest in the first round of the Carabao Cup - the first competitive meeting between the clubs.
Paul Hurst's men face the task of travelling to the City Ground hoping to beat the Championship side to secure a place in the next round of the newly named cup.
The first-round games are set to take place on the week commencing August 7th.
In total, 35 first-round draws were made in Bangkok, Thailand - the home of Carabao Energy Drink, who sponsor the competition which was named the EFL Cup last season.
The draw was regionalised in an effort to reduce travel times for clubs, with all League One and Two clubs included.
Middlesbrough and Hull are the only Championship teams not included in the draw.
Fixtures will take place in the opening week of the 2017/18 campaign, with midweek games on the week commencing August 7th.
The final is set to take place in February, hosted at Wembley Stadium.
