Peterborough United to host League Two opposition in first round of the Carabao Cup
Cheltenham were knocked out of the League Two play-offs at the semi-final stage by Northampton Town last season despite winning the first leg 2-0 away from home.
Posh have never played Cheltenham in the League Cup, but did knock them out of the FA Cup 3-1 after extra time in a first round replay at Whaddon Road in 1996. Cheltenham were a non-league club then and drew 0-0 at London Road.
