The Carabao Cup is back with the fourth-round draw taking place tonight.
Progress to the fourth round would see teams potentially play just two days after the World Cup final, which is scheduled to be played on Sunday 18 December.
The fourth round of the Carabao Cup is then set to be played across 20 and 21 December, ahead of the return of the Premier League on Boxing Day.
While it presents a fixture headache for the top flight sides - ahead of seven all-Premier League ties this week - it may present an opportunity for some of lower division teams to embark on a rare cup run.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the fourth-round draw?
The draw for the fourth round will take place on Thursday 10 November, following Manchester United’s match against Aston Villa.
The fourth round ties will take place on the week beginning 19 December as football resumes following the World Cup final.
What teams are in the draw?
- Bournemouth
