This years first round draw is split north and south, and split again between seeded and unseeded. The unseeded clubs are guaranteed a game against seeded opposition.
For AFC Bournemouth, because of our relatively low finish in League One, we're an unseeded club. But this does mean that we could be playing either Southampton, or Brighton as a result!

Birmingham City
West Bromwich Albion
Crystal Palace
Coventry City
Norwich City
Luton Town
