Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and last season’s finalists Chelsea will all be included in the draw, as will holders Leicester.
Leicester overcame Chelsea 1-0 in a hard-fought final last May thanks to Youri Tielemans sensational goal at Wembley in front of just 22,000 people.
The Foxes proved, once again, that you don’t have to be one of the big six to pick up major silverware, so every team can count themselves a potential winner of this campaign’s competition.
And it all begins with the highly-anticipated third round draw.
