When is the Carabao Cup draw? Date, TV channel and FREE live stream as 16 clubs enter the hat for the fourth round

THE third round of the Carabao Cup concludes this week as attention turns to Wednesday’s huge draw.

Last week, Manchester United smashed League One promotion hopefuls Barnsley 7-0 at Old Trafford to secure their spot in the hat.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City were unable to play their third-round fixtures last week due to their Champions League commitments – meaning their respective Carabao Cup campaigns get underway this week.

The unique scheduling of the competition stems from the increase in Champions League and Europe League fixtures this season – that have been scheduled during the same period.
