Ruben Amorim's Reds are entering the Carabao Cup at the second-round stage due to our lack of European football.
The fixture is due to be staged in the midweek following our second Premier League outing of 2025/26, the away game at Fulham, on 26/27 August.
A preliminary round has been introduced at the start of the month, followed by the next stage in week commencing 11 August.
If Ruben's side progress, we will be joined in the third-round draw by the nine teams who have qualified for Europe - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.
