The draw for the Carabao Cup third round takes place tonight.

Manchester United take on League Two Grimsby in the pick of the second-round ties after Sunderland and Leeds were the Premier League teams to suffer upsets on Tuesday.

The nine Premier League teams involved in European football join the action for the third round, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and last season’s winners Newcastle among those finding out their opponents later on.

The Carabao Cup will no longer be split between southern and northern regions from the third round onwards.
