Brentford, Fulham and QPR all reached the second round of the Carabao Cup and fans will be looking at a potential early season cup run.

The Whites and Rangers both made the third round stage last term but were beaten by Bristol City and Sunderland respectively.

The last time the Bees were at this stage was in 2014 where Fulham ended their hopes of going forward in what was Felix Magath's last victory.

Fulham and QPR saw off the challenge of Wycombe and Northampton respectively in 90 minutes, while Brentford needed extra time to claim victory at AFC Wimbledon.

All three sides used the first round ties to rotate their squads and give minutes to younger players and the likelihood is this policy will continue into the second round.

Below, GetWestLondon has produced a handy guide which answers all the key questions that supporters have been asking.

The 25 highest placed teams from last season's league campaign are all seeded for the draw.

Because of the abandonment of Derby's game against Grimsby it is unclear, at the time of writing, what the EFL will do when it comes to making them a seed or not.

We do know, however, that both Brentford and Fulham will be seeded for the draw, while QPR will not be meaning a west London derby could be on the cards.

The seven Premier League teams competing in Europe will join the 25 second round winners in the third round of the competition.
