If so in what circumstances.
A friend who enjoys football says they can't, but I thought they could in some competitions.

Yeah. Teams can play against bigger or smaller opposition in The FA Cup and The League Cup (Currently known as The Carling Cup, it changes name depending on who sponsors it.)

They can only play teams in the higher Premier League or Championship in a cup game such as the FA Cup or the League Cup. These are knock out competitions open to all the leagues (and non league in the case of the FA Cup).
League 1 is a seperate competition. For games in this competition they would only play other League 1 sides.
