Barclays Premier League newcomers West Ham have been drawn against Crewe in the second round of the Capital One Cup.
Sam Allardyce's side will host the newly-promoted League One club at Upton Park during the week commencing August 27.
The Hammers were on the wrong end of a cup upset in last season's competition as they were beaten 2-1 at home by League Two outfit Aldershot.
The last time West Ham competed in the League Cup as a Premier League team they reached the semi-finals where they lost to eventual winners Birmingham.
