Hammers handed Crewe clash

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.
