The Carabao Cup has reached the fourth round, with just 16 sides left in the competition seeking the first domestic trophy of the season.
The competition serves as an excellent proving ground for some of English football’s best and brightest, with managers even at this stage keen to give youngsters an opportunity away from the tougher Preemier League battles.
Liverpool and Arsenal are both likely to name sides full of youth as they meet at Anfield, while Chelsea and Manchester United have shown real commitment to youth so far this season and will likely sprinkle in a couple more new names on Wednesday night.
Tuesday sees Manchester City play Southampton and Leicester make the short trip to Burton, while Everton and Watford will be hoping the cup provides welcome distraction from their Premier League trials and tribulations.
Here are seventeen youngsters who could shine in the Carabao Cup this week.
Is there anyone that we have missed out? Let us know!
