The eight clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League were kept apart in the third-round draw for scheduling reasons.

UEFA competition fixtures cannot be rearranged, and with the EFL Cup taking place across two weeks in September that also have Champions League and Europa League games scheduled, additional conditions were made to ensure all clubs can fulfil their EFL Cup fixture in one of the two allocated weeks.

When is the fourth-round draw?

Palace, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Bradford and the clubs who win the remaining third-round ties will discover their next opponents on 16 September.

The draw for the fourth round will be made on that date, following the tie between Man Utd and Brighton, and will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.
