WANDERERS will travel to the DW Stadium to face Wigan Athletic in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Ian Evatt’s men overcame Championship side Barnsley on penalties in the opening round on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, the Latics also won on penalties - beating Hull City following a 1-1 draw at the MKM Stadium.
All second-round fixtures will be played in the week commencing August 23.
Here is what Wanderers fans had to say about the draw.

Putting the rivalry aside. After the past few years both clubs have been through, seemingly both now out the other side, the narrative writes itself.
Sky won’t pick the game for coverage, but they’re missing out.
Bring it on! Can’t wait. #BWFC #WAFC
We really need to pack out that stadium, first proper rivalry away game in nearly 2 years. Mon the whites ⚪️🔵⚽️x #bwfc
