Newport head for Brighton in opening round of League Cup

Newly-promoted Newport have been handed an exciting trip to Championship side Brighton in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

The Exiles ended a 25-year absence from the Football League when they triumphed in the Blue Square Bet Premier play-offs last season and they will face a mouth-watering visit to the south coast high-flyers, whose boss Gus Poyet remains suspended.
