The second round of the Carabao Cup is drawing to a close, which means it is almost time for the revamped third round draw which sees the seven remaining Premier League clubs enter the competition.

Defending champions Liverpool will enter the fold alongside Premier League champions Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea.

However this year the EFL have changed the rules surrounding the third round draw, which will mean that Arne Slot's men can't come up against Erik ten Hags', whilst there will be no North London derby taking place either.
