The Carabao Cup third-round draw is held tonight, with Manchester clubs set to learn their opponents for the next stage. Manchester City and Manchester United both enter the competition at this round due to their involvement in the Champions League.
Because of that European participation, the draw is split, with the two Manchester teams placed into separate third-round draws rather than being drawn from a single combined pool. Other Premier League clubs in Europe also enter at this stage, including Arsenal and Liverpool, while the remaining teams are joined based on the tournament’s scheduled entry points.
Multiple outlets provide live coverage and logistics for supporters, including when the draw takes place and how to watch. The differing emphasis across sources is mainly on which teams are expected to be drawn (such as Arsenal and Liverpool) and the practical details for viewing, while all agree on the headline point: the Manchester clubs participate in a split draw tonight because of Champions League commitments.
