When is the draw for round three of the Carabao Cup?

There will be two draws for round three of the Carabao Cup. Both will take place during Sky Sports' live coverage of Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle on Wednesday August 28.

The pre-draw ahead of the game will decide the positions of the six teams in Champions League (Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa) and Europa League (Man Utd, Tottenham).

This is because the third round will take place over two games weeks, depending on which week the teams are playing in Europe. They will not face one another in the next round of the Carabao Cup.

The full draw will then take place as usual after the conclusion of Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle.

What sport is available on Sky Sports Plus?
