The second round of the Carabao Cup saw the introduction of Premier League teams not involved in a European competition this season, four of whom tasted defeat. Round Three sees the rest of the Premier League sides enter the fray, signifying that the Carabao Cup is really hotting up now.
Carabao Cup Round Three Draw
Key Fixtures
Liverpool v Chelsea
The biggest match of the third round, this is a battle of two Premier League behemoths. While both clubs definitely have aspirations within the league itself this season, the outcome of this match could easily come down to which side wants success within the cup more. On a normal day though, Liverpool should have the advantage in this contest as both the stronger side and the home club.
Tottenham v Watford
Another match of Premier League sides, this match could be an interesting one if both Tottenham and Watford continue on their early season successes. While Spurs should have the advantage in this match, one major question mark could come in the form of whether or not Tottenham host this match or if the fixture is forced into a reversal due to Tottenham’s current stadium woes.
West Ham United v Macclesfield Town
Featuring a potential David v Goliath matchup here, this contest will include Premier League side West Ham United as they play host to the visiting Macclesfield Town, a League Two club. With Macclesfield Town being the lowest ranked club in the third round of the competition, many eagle eyed fans will definitely want to keep an eye on this matchup to see whether or not the Defending National League Champions can continue their run into the Carabao Cup’s Fourth Round.
