Is this the weirdest cup draw ever?
Bristol Rovers will face Chelsea if they win tonight but Cardiff will face a trip to Scunthorpe United if they win tonight's game as a result of being a one of 25 seeded teams and, in that case, Bristol City, who booked their place in the second round after a 1-0 victory at Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night, would remain unseeded and would get the trip to Stamford Bridge instead.
Lee Johson's side would become seeded should Cardiff exit the competition and would go to Glanford Park to face Scunthorpe instead in the round of ties that are scheduled to take place in the week commencing Monday August 22.
