Watford has been drawn at home to Coca-Cola League Two Accrington Stanley in the Second Round of this season's Carling Cup competition.

The Nationwide Conference Champions only returned to the Football League in August after an absence of 44 years, and have already caused a stir in the competition, having eliminated four-times winners Nottingham Forest in Round One last Monday in front of Sky's TV Cameras.

Stanley, managed by the experienced John Coleman, currently resides in 16th place in League Two following their home draw with Rochdale yesterday.
