The EFL Cup third round is continuing for a second week, with 10 ties being played across three evenings.

There have been four all-Premier League encounters so far in this round, with two more still to come. Liverpool's 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Tuesday was arguably the most high-profile fixture, given the hosts have won the EFL Cup 10 times and the visitors have done so on four occasions.

Arsenal, Bradford City, Bournemouth, Brentford, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Peterborough, Sunderland and the five clubs who win the remaining third-round ties will discover their next opponents on Wednesday, 16 September.

The draw for the fourth round will be made then, following the tie between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion (kick-off 20:00 BST), and will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.

How UEFA competitions affects EFL Cup fixtures

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.
