Last updated : 16 June 2017 By C. Morris

Sheffield Wednesday will play at home in the first round of the League Cup following today’s cup draw.

With the newly branded competition being sponsored by Carabao, the draw took place in Thailand and despite a few technical glitches all ties have been confirmed.

The competition is split into northern & southern section at this stage and the Owls were drawn to face League Two team Chesterfield at Hillsborough.

Wednesday and Chesterfield last met competitively in the 2011-12 season in League One where the Owls won 3-1 at home but were later defeated 1-0 away.
