Doncaster beat Championship side Hull City 2-1 on Tuesday to set up a second-round clash with Sean Dyche's side, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season.

The fixture will be the first competitive meeting between Doncaster and Everton in 38 years.

The last time they played Rovers were beaten 2-0 at Goodison Park in the FA Cup in January 1985.

The two sides have met just eight times in their history but Doncaster are unbeaten at home against the Toffees.
