All the Carabao Cup and Vertu Trophy details as Wigan Athletic paired with Premier League Under-21s as well as EFL sides
Wigan Athletic will host League Two outfit Notts County in the first round of the Carabao Cup.
It was the last tie drawn in the northern area half of the draw by Shay Given and John Barnes in the Sky Sports studio on Thursday afternoon.
The tie will take place in the week commencing August 11.
Latics went all the way to the final in 2005/06, when Paul Jewell’s side were beaten 4-0 in the final by Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Ryan Lowe's men have been drawn with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers' Under-21s in this season's Vertu Trophy.
Latics had already discovered they had been grouped with League One rivals Stockport County and League Two club Salford City.
The trophy has twice found its way back to Wigan in previous guises, with Brian Hamilton’s boys winning the Freight Rover Trophy in 1985, and Ray Mathias’s Class of 1999 winning the Auto Windscreens Shield.
Full fixture and ticket details from both competitions will be released in due course.
