Hello, and welcome to live coverage of the Carabao Cup third-round draw.

The second round of the competition has been taking place this week, but Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs have been able to watch with their feet up. Their participation in European competitions means that they get a by straight into the third round.

Games conclude on Wednesday night with the likes of West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham in action. Palace and Fulham both booked their place in the third round last night with West Ham in action tonight as they take on fellow Premier League side Bournemouth at the London Stadium.

A new rule change means that the third round draw will have some differences to usual, it means that the third round will be split over two separate weeks with six of the seven teams competing in Europe not being eligible to face each other.

Therefore, Arsenal and Tottenham will be in the group drawn first. Chelsea are slightly different due to the Conference League not starting until October.
