They last played each other in April 2005 - the Championship match ended 1-1 - and will meet again at Upton Park as a result last night's second-round draw.

Millwall managing director Andy Ambler said: "This is a chance for our emerging side to test themselves against Premier League opposition.

"We are looking forward to the squad showing off what they can do - though our players will be looking forward to it more than their's will."

There has been trouble between the fans in the past but Ambler said: "We have a very experienced security team who are used to staging these sorts of games and we will make sure [with West Ham] the match passes off with as little disruption to fans and the community as possible."

Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola wants a better performance in the competition this term after getting knocked out by Watford last season.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace take on big-spending Manchester City at Selhurst Park.

The clash could be televised, which would bring in extra funds for the cash-strapped Eagles.
