Liverpool will face Tottenham and Manchester United will play Brighton in the EFL Cup third round, as the Premier League clubs involved in European competition join the tournament. The draw also gives holders Manchester City a home tie against Norwich, while Fleetwood, the only League Two side remaining, will host Sheffield United.

Matches are scheduled across the weeks beginning 7 and 14 September to prevent clashes with the opening rounds of European competitions. Nine Premier League sides enter at this stage, and two fixtures remain unresolved: Leeds may play Chelsea if Chelsea beat Luton, while Fulham’s match with AFC Wimbledon will determine another place.
