The tie will take place on September 24 or 25, at a time to be confirmed, in between matches against Chelsea (away) and Sheffield United (home).
Most Reds fans were pleased with the draw, though, of course, it would have been better if it were at Anfield.
This is how some supporters reacted to it on Twitter:

Happy to finally get a draw against a team that isn’t in the Premier League. Be nice for some of the fringe players to get a run out #CarabaoCup #LFC

Liverpool vs MK Don's
Great chance for the youngsters to start that game.#CarabaoCup #LFC

It’s great that the Reds will be able to field the likes of young Rhian Brewster and Ki-Jana Hoever, as well as more senior players such as Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri who have been lacking minutes so far in the campaign.
Hopefully, the Reds can make it through to the round four this season having been knocked out by Chelsea at Anfield at the same stage last year. It might not be the biggest trophy in the world, but any piece of silverware is worth lifting!
