Newport County were given a glamorous tie away to Brighton in this morning's Capital One Cup first round draw.

QPR, following their relegation from the Premier League, will travel to Exeter City, while Bournemouth and Portsmouth face the prospect of a south-coast derby.

Matches will be played in the week commencing 5 August, with the winners joining the majority of Premier League teams in round two, as well as Reading.

Wigan will enter the competition in round three, along with Swansea and the other Premiership teams competing in Europe.

In further first round action, last season's finalists Bradford will visit West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield. South Yorkshire meanwhile, will see Rotheram take on Sheffield Wednesday.

Conference Premier champions Mansfield face a trip to Tranmere, while Preston boss Simon Grayson will return to former side Blackpool.
