The Carabao Cup continues apace with the competition entrants whittled down again ahead of the fourth round.
The arrival of the Premier League’s European representatives necessitated a splitting of the third-round fixture list, but the 16 remaining sides will face a more straightforward schedule as they contest a quarter-final place.
Some sizeable ties could be drawn with no regionalisation or pre-draw to worry about as English football’s secondary cup competition hots up.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Carabao Cup fourth round draw?
The draw will follow the conclusion of the round-three tie between Manchester United and Brighton. That encounter kicks off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 16 September, so the draw can be expected around 10.20pm BST.
How can I watch it?
Proceedings will be aired live on Sky Sports as well as the Carabao Cup social media feeds. Presenter Pien Meulensteen will helm the programme, with Jamie Redknapp and Ashley Young on hand to conduct the draw.
