Erik ten Hag's side reached the final of the competition last season, where we were narrowly defeated 2-1 by Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.
The Dutchman will be hoping to go one better this term, and the Reds begin our cup campaign with an away trip to the DW Stadium.
It will be the first time we face the Latics since eliminating them in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win at Old Trafford in January 2017.
The third round is the stage at which Premier League clubs enter the competition, with teams across the Football League and in non-league football battling it out to advance, and potentially create history.
