The draw for the Carabao Cup<\/a> third round took place tonight and threw up plenty of glamour ties, pitting Premier League sides against outfits from the lower divisions.<\/p>\n

Draw for Carabao Cup Third Round<\/h2>\n

Key Matches<\/h3>\n

MK Dons v Liverpool<\/h4>\n

MK Dons’ reward for victories against AFC Wimbledon and Southend United is the visit of current European champions Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp’s side will be facing their first-ever trip to Milton Keynes when they make the journey on the week beginning September 23 in their first League Cup game of the season.<\/p>\n

The Reds will have aspirations of winning the entire competition this season so will perhaps send a strong squad to Buckinghamshire, but whatever the state of the squad that makes the trip, it should still have too much quality for the League One Dons.<\/p>\n

Chelsea v Grimsby Town or Macclesfield Town<\/h4>\n

A glamour tie will await the winners of Tuesday’s abandoned tie between Grimsby Town and Macclesfield Town, as they have been drawn away to Frank Lampard’s Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Blues reached the final of this competition last season under Maurizio Sarri but were defeated on penalties by Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Grimsby went out in the first round to Rochdale last season, while Macclesfield made it to the third round before an 8-0 thrashing against West Ham United.<\/p>\n

While it’s likely Lampard’s side will prevail, this should be an enjoyable tie for whoever makes it through from the all League Two match.<\/p>\n
