Pompey have guaranteed themselves a home draw and, with the competition still divided by region at this stage, they will face either Arsenal under-21s, Northampton Town, AFC Wimbledon or Peterborough in the second round. 

Kenny Jackett's troops will discover their opposition in Friday's draw, which will be broadcast live on TalkSport 2 from 1pm.

David Prutton will be hosting the draw. He will be joined by Leon Britton and former Pompey player and manager Steve Claridge.
