The Carabao Cup third-round draw is scheduled for Wednesday at 10:15 pm UK Time, with a twist. To accommodate European competitions, new rules have been introduced to prevent fixture date conflicts.
European Competitions Take Precedence
The change ensures that teams participating in the Champions League and Europa League won't face each other in the third round, avoiding scheduling clashes.
Affected Teams
The impacted teams include:
- Champions League participants: Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa
- Europa League participants: Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United
New Draw Dynamics
As a result, these six teams will be separated in the draw, guaranteeing they won't face each other in the third round. This adjustment prioritizes their European commitments, ensuring a smoother fixture schedule.
Stay tuned for the draw on Wednesday to see how the new rules shape the Carabao Cup third-round matchups!
