Carabao Cup third round draw LIVE: Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool set to discover opponents The Carabao Cup draw will feature holders Manchester City as well as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United as the tournament prepares for round three The Carabao Cup finally welcomes the big boys with holders Manchester City among those in the third round draw. The nine Premier League sides who qualified for Europe had been handed safe passage into round three but will now discover their opponents. It means Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are among those in Wednesday night's draw. Aston Villa, winners in 1996, as well as Brighton and Sunderland also come into the competition. This marks the end of the northern and southern sections with teams free to draw each other. The second round is played across three nights and, so far, the only Premier League side to go out is Nottingham Forest - but they were beaten by fellow top flight side Leeds. Fleetwood Town are the only remaining League Two side left in the draw after beating fellow fourth tier side Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday night. Wednesday night's draw will be split into two sections, one taking place before tonight's games, and the other taking place after full-time. We'll keep you across it all at Mirror Football.
