The details for Watford’s trip to face Stevenage in the first round of the Carabao Cup have now been confirmed.

The Hornets will make the short journey across Hertfordshire to The Lamex Stadium on Tuesday August 8, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Information regarding ticket allocation and pricing will be available nearer the date.

It will be the first time that Watford have played in the opening round of the league cup since 2014 when, ironically, they also played away at Stevenage and won 1-0.

The cup tie means the pre-season friendly at Stevenage, scheduled for July 18, has now been cancelled.

However, the Hornets start their summer campaign next week when they visit Meadow Park to face Boreham Wood, where Watford legend Lloyd Doyley is a member of the coaching staff.

Tickets for that game are £15 for adults and OAPs, £10 for Under-18s, £5 for Under-12s and £2 for Under-5s.
