Liverpool drawn to face Spurs in Carabao Cup third round

Spurs will make their second trip to Anfield in three seasons, following their semi-final exit to the Reds in 2024/25 where they lost 4-1 on aggregate, according to Sky Sports.

The draw has produced as many as six all-Premier League ties across the round. Manchester City, the competition holders, will welcome Championship side Norwich to the Etihad, extending an impressive record against the Canaries—the club has not lost to Norwich at home in five meetings since 2013.

Elsewhere, promoted Hull travel to Sunderland, while newly promoted Ipswich face Arsenal. Chelsea will host Leeds if the Yorkshire club beat Luton on Thursday, setting up a potential all-London renewal with West Ham also guaranteed a cross-capital fixture against either Fulham or AFC Wimbledon.

Newcastle have drawn a long trip to Millwall after their narrow Championship win over West Brom. Coventry face fellow Midlands rivals Aston Villa, while Everton seek revenge against Wolves after being knocked out by them last season.

The nine Premier League sides competing in European competitions—Arsenal, Manchester City, United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace—all enter at this stage.

Ties will be played across the weeks beginning September 7 and 14. Sky Sports+ will broadcast matches, with coverage also available via the Sky Sports app and website.
