The draw for the Carabao Cup fourth round will take place following the conclusion of Arsenal’s game at Port Vale.
The Gunners take on the League One outfit in the standout tie of Wednesday’s matches, with Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United also looking to secure their spot in the next round with wins over Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City respectively.
Liverpool secured their place in the fourth round with victory over Southampton on Tuesday. Alexander Isak scored his first goal for the club since his British record £125 million ($168.5 million) transfer from Newcastle United, before Hugo Ekitiké scored the winner late on—the Frenchman was, however, immediately sent off for removing his shirt in celebration.
Chelsea are also in the hat after coming from a goal down to beat Lincoln City, courtesy of goals from Tyrique George and loanee Facundo Buonanotte.
