LONDON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Famed giant-killers Yeovil Town will seek to add Middlesbrough to their long list of victims after being drawn to play the Premier League club in the League Cup second round.
Yeovil, who now play in League One (third division), beat a record 20 League teams in the FA Cup as a non-League club and recalled those heroics with a 1-0 win at Championship (second division) side Charlton Athletic in the first round on Tuesday.
Nottingham Forest, four-times League Cup winners and just promoted back to the Championship, host Premier League Sunderland, managed by their former player Roy Keane.
Other Premier League clubs in action include West Ham United, at home to League Two side Macclesfield Town, Newcastle United, who travel to Championship club Coventry City and Fulham, who host Leicester City, winners in 2000 but now playing in League One.
Holders Tottenham Hotspur along with Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Portsmouth will all join in the third round.
The second round ties will be played in the week beginning Aug. 25.
