Both Bristol City and Bristol Rovers have learned their opponents for the first round of this season's Carabao Cup following Thursday afternoon's draw.
Gerhard Struber's Robins will welcome League Two's MK Dons to Ashton Gate in what will be the two team's first competitive meeting since 2016 when a Jonathan Kodjia brace secured all three points.
Darrell Clarke's side will also face League Two opposition as they welcome Cambridge United to the Mem in the first round. United were relegated from League One alongside the Gas last term but it was Rovers who secured all three points when they last met in January.
This season's ties will be played over the course of the week commencing August 11. City's game will be played between their first and second game of the Championship season while Rovers' meeting with Cambridge will occur between their second and third League Two outing.
You can recap all the action as it happened in this afternoon's draw here...
17:06 - That's all from us
I'll be honest, I'm not sure either set of fans will exactly be thrilled with that draw but both clubs should have a real chance of booking their place in the second round. That's where some Premier League clubs begin to enter the competition.
For now though, focus returns to the transfer window and the potential ins and outs at each club. As always, we'll keep you up to date with everything that happens at both clubs.
