Carabao Cup draw LIVE!
The draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup takes place tonight, with 32 teams set to learn their assignments for the next stage of the competition. The Premier League clubs involved in European action this term all enter the fray at this juncture, though, Chelsea aside, will be kept apart amid the significant revamps made to both the Champions League and Europa League by Uefa.
None of Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham or Manchester United can be paired together in round three, with those clubs involved in a pre-draw exercise earlier on tonight that determined who would be playing at home or away. Last night’s winners and the victors of Wednesday night’s remaining seven second-round fixtures enter proceedings as normal for the main part of the draw, which takes place after the televised all-Premier League clash between Nottingham Forest and Newcastle at the City Ground, which the visitors won on penalties.
The northern and southern sections of the draw no longer apply in round three, with no geographical restrictions on any ties at this stage. Follow live coverage below of the draw for the third round of the 2024/25 Carabao Cup!
