Everton are set to take on Huddersfield Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
The draw was made after last night's first-round contest between Leyton Orient and QPR, with ties for the next stage scheduled to be played in the week beginning August 23.
At this point of the competition, teams are split into southern and northern sections and cannot face a team from the opposite category.
Everton overcame Salford City, Fleetwood Town and West Ham United during last season's Carabao Cup, but suffered a home defeat to Manchester United at the quarter-final stage.
Should the Blues go all the way this time around, how much could this be worth to Rafael Benitez's side?
Winning the Carabao Cup is not as financially rewarding as many believe it to be, with recent figures suggesting that £100,000 is the prize money handed to the side that comes out on top at Wembley.
The runner-up earns approximately £50,000, meanwhile the losing semi-finalists are given a consolation prize of £25,000 each.
Everton also exited at the quarter-final stage of the 2020/21 FA Cup, having been knocked out by Manchester City.
There is more of an incentive to perform well in this competition, given that the triumphant side in the final will bank a healthy £1.8million sum.
Varying amounts of prize money are banked at each round of the FA Cup, with a total of £4.7m up for grabs if Everton can claim silverware.
