West Ham United will face League Two side Accrington Stanley in the third round of the EFL Cup.

The Hammers have been drawn at home and the tie will be played week commencing 19 September 2016.

Accrington Stanley caused one of the big upsets of the second round against Premier League opposition when Matty Pearson scored a last minute extra-time winner against Burnley.

Having been knocked out of the Capital One Cup in the third round by Leicester City last season, Slaven Bilic will be keen to see his side progress to the latter stages of the competition.

Full fixture details and ticket prices will be announced in due course.
