Bolton Wanderers will begin their Carling Cup campaign with a tricky home tie against newly promoted West Ham United on the week commencing 24th October. The draw was made at 12:15 this afternoon and will be the first Reebok Stadium meeting between these two sides since the infamous relegation fixture of the 2002-2003 season in which a stunning Jay-Jay Okocha goal gave Bolton a 1-0 victory.

Earlier this season the Trotters defeated their London opponents by 2-1 with Kevin Nolan and Ivan Campo netting the all important goals at Upton Park prior to Teddy Sheringham's mere last minute consolation.

The full draw is as follows:

Doncaster v Gillingham
Bolton v West Ham
Crystal Palace v Liverpool
Manchester United v Barnet
Chelsea v Charlton
Reading v Sheffield United
Fulham v West Brom
Mansfield v Millwall
Sunderland v Arsenal
Everton v Middlesbrough
Wigan v Watford
