When Will the Carabao Cup Fourth Round Draw Take Place? Teams Involved, Start Time and Live Streaming Details

Amid all the hustle and bustle of the 2024/25 season, you could be forgiven if you don’t know that the Carabao Cup third round ties are taking place this week. With some English giants already booking their place in the next round, the anticipation for the fourth-round draw of the Carabao Cup has reached fever pitch.

For the first time, the Carabao Cup third-round draw has been split between two weeks. Last week, clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Southampton, Brentford and Brighton booked their spot in the 4th round. Last night, Chelsea, reigning champions Manchester City, Aston Villa and Leicester City joined their Premier League counterparts in the 4th round. So far, only Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City are the only non-Premier League clubs to have qualified for the next round. 

Now, Arsenal and Liverpool will aim to secure their places in the 4th round as they take on Bolton and West Ham United, respectively, today (25th September). Meanwhile, Newcastle United will have to wait until next Tuesday (2nd October) to seal their spot, as their 3rd round clash with Wimbledon was postponed. With multiple games going on at the same time it’s easy to lose track. But don’t worry because we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about Carabao Cup’s 4th round draw.
