Meanwhile Dean Smith's Aston Villa face League Two Barrow.

Wolves last travelled to the City ground in 2017 and were 2-1 winners thanks to a Diogo Jota brace.

Albion will face Premier League opposition earlier than anticipated as Mikel Arteta's men travel to the Hawthorns.

Barrow's reward for their 1-0 win over Scunthorpe is another home game against a new-look Villa.

Ties will take place the week commencing August 23
