The Carabao Cup third round draw will take place at 4.15am on Thursday in Beijing, China.
Sunderland are in the hat following a 2-1 win over Carlisle United on Tuesday evening, with Simon Grayson’s side clinching their spot late on thanks to Lynden Gooch’s timely winner.
The third round will see the Premier League’s heavy-hitters enter the competition, with holders Manchester United among the teams joining an unseeded draw.
But the Black Cats boss will wait until he wakes up to find out what come next.
“I think the excitement can wait until whatever time I wake up,” teased Grayson.
“We’re happy to be in the hat and we’ll see what the draw brings us and where it takes us.”
