Teams from League One and the Championship will definitely be in the mix for the draw, meaning there could be a few "giant-killings" to come next round.

Which teams are in the Carabao Cup third round draw?

The third round also won’t be split into northern and southern sections like previous rounds. A total of 32 clubs will play in the third round of the competition, where things start to really heat up.

That’s because, though the chunk of Premier League clubs entered the cup in the second round of the competition, in the third round, top-flight teams who have European commitments will also enter the draw. This adds extra spice for the "smaller" clubs still in the hat for the next round.

The ball numbers for the draw have not yet been confirmed, but alongside all of the winners of the second round ties that take place this mid-week, the eight Premier League teams who are competing in Europe this season will join the draw, which includes the current holders of the competition, Manchester United, who will begin their title defence.

The Red Devils will also be joined in the hat for the third round by other heavy-hitters such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham United and Aston Villa.
