West Ham United have been drawn against Newport County in the second round of the EFL Cup, with the tie due to take place the week of August 26.

The draw for the second round was made on Tuesday night and Newport County were present courtesy of their victory over Gillingham on penalties.

The Exiles play their football in League Two and have made a modest start to the 2019-20 campaign - drawing with Mansfield Two and Cambridge United thus far.

West Ham, meanwhile, opened their 2019-20 Premier League campaign with a 5-0 home loss to Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

It goes without saying that the Hammers will be huge favourites to reach the third round of the cup competition.

However, the London club's fans are not confident that will be the case.
