The reigning champions, Newcastle United, will eventually be participating in the Carabao Cup Round Three draw tonight.
The draw for Round Three of the Carabao Cup will take place tonight, and Newcastle United will learn their opponents. In March, the Magpies defeated Liverpool at Wembley to win their first domestic trophy in seven decades. They will enter tonight’s draw as the defending champions.
Eight teams will compete for four places in the Carabao Cup’s Round Two draw tonight. The final four games of Round Two are Everton v Mansfield Town, Fulham v Bristol City, Oxford United v Brighton, and Grimsby Town v Manchester United. The four victors, as well as the teams that advanced on Tuesday night, will join nine Premier League teams in the hat for Round Three.
Newcastle United, a club that will compete in Europe this season, was granted a bye through Round Two. They will be joined by the eight other European participants from England in the draw. The draw will establish all eight teams competing in the Champions League, including Liverpool, the runners-up from last season, and the Europa League for the upcoming season. These teams will not be able to be matched against each other.
As a result, the Magpies are limited to 25 potential opponents to be drawn against tonight. Another Tyne-Wear derby is ruled out due to Sunderland’s loss to Huddersfield Town, while a match against the Red Devils would necessitate their victory over Grimsby Town at Blundell Park tonight. The three other Premier League teams that advanced last night are Burnley, Brentford, and Wolves. Four additional teams may be added to the hat following the games of tonight.
The draw details for the third round of the Carabao Cup have been confirmed by the English Football League
The EFL has verified that the draw will take place tonight in the lead-up to the Grimsby Town v Manchester United match. Newcastle United has been assigned ball 17 for the draw and will be seated in Bowl One. Sky Sports will broadcast the draw live.
The EFL has provided an explanation of the mechanics of the draw, which include the seeding system. The first eight ties in the main draw will be drawn by alternating between one Club from Bowl 1 and one Club from Bowl 2, with the Home/Away positioning of the UCL/UEL team already predetermined in the earlier draw. The remaining eight ties will be drawn exclusively from Bowl 2 after the first eight ties featuring the UCL/UEL teams have been drawn. “The draw is no longer regionalized into northern and southern sections as of this round of the competition.”
Round Three of the Carabao Cup will be conducted over a two-week period, commencing on September 15 and concluding on September 22. Newcastle United’s Champions League campaign will commence on the week of September 15, with three games scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of that week.
This implies that Newcastle United will commence their defense of the Carabao Cup during the week of September 22. Subsequent to tonight’s draw, the precise date of that match will be determined.
This week, the Magpies will also determine their opponents in the Champions League’s league stage. The draw is scheduled for Thursday evening, and the precise dates of the fixtures are expected to be disclosed over the weekend.
