With the Clarets seeded there was never any chance of a money spinning draw and having failed to secure a home time at least it is a fairly short trip to make.
This will be the first time the two clubs have met in the League Cup and in fact it is 31 years since we played them in the FA Cup when we were beaten 1-0 at the Turf in the 3rd round of 1971/72.
Our last major cup win against Huddersfield was in 1963/64 and a 3-0 5th round victory in the FA Cup with goals from Ray Pointer, Andy Lochhead and an own goal.
The game will be played week commencing 30th September with Tuesday 1st October the most likely.
The full draw is:
Stockport County v Gillingham
Crystal Palace v Cheltenham Town
Leyton Orient v Birmingham City
Cambridge United v Sunderland
Ipswich Town v Brighton and Hove Albion
Sheffield United v Wycombe Wanderers
Wrexham v Everton
Rotherham United v Wolverhampton Wanderers
