The draw is expected to get underway around 6.40pm. Rovers are ball number 19 and first round ties are scheduled to take place on the weekend of November 1/2.

Last season saw Rovers handed three successive away draws, against Barrow, Kettering and Hull City, before they got a plum tie at home to eventual winners Crystal Palace in round four.

Rovers have a decent record in the competition of late, with just one first round exit in the past eight seasons: that was the ignominious home reverse to non-league King's Lyyn in the 2022-23 campaign.

Notable ball numbers:

4 - Barnsley

7 - Bolton

8 - Bradford

13 - Cardiff

15 - Chesterfield

19 - Rovers

23 - Grimsby

25 - Huddersfield

29 - Mansfield
