How does the third round draw work?
Following the draw of the second round, the third round will also be drawn today.
The seven Premier League sides in Europe (Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham, Arsenal) then join in round three.
Carabao Cup organisers said: "The Round Two draw is unseeded and will remain regionalised with northern and southern sections.
"Upon its conclusion, the Round Three draw will then take place with each tie given a number in the order that they came out in the Round Two draw – they will then be subject to another unseeded draw on an either/or basis, alongside the seven Premier League Clubs competing in Europe who enter at this stage.
"Having the draws conducted together will enable the EFL, Clubs and broadcasters to plan with additional clarity and certainty over a busy period of fixtures whilst supporters are unable to attend fixtures."
