The big boys have learned their fate for the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The 25 winners from the second round have been joined by the Premier League’s European clubs in a controversial new format.

The top-flight’s seven clubs in European competition were all given a bye to round three. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all in the Champions League.

The new-look draw ensures that those six teams can’t face each other in the third round.

That means none of Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham can face off until the fourth round.

Many supporters reckon the process is now an “absolute joke” and “biased” in favour of big clubs.

But it hasn’t stopped the draw from throwing up some tasty clashes.
