This stage marks the entry of Burnley, Luton Town, and 13 other Premier League clubs that are not participating in European competitions. The anticipation has been electric as fans wait to see who they’ll be up against.

Additionally, Newcastle will pack their bags to face Nottingham Forest, hoping to replicate their 3-2 triumph from their last clash at The City Ground. As the draw brings together teams, the potential for upsets looms large, especially with the absence of top-flight sides already busy in European competitions who will be entering in the next round!
So, hold onto your hats, football fans! The stage is set, and the drama is only just beginning. As we gear up for these extraordinary fixtures, whether it's an anticipated clash or a surprising upset, one thing is certain: the Carabao Cup is going to deliver some unforgettable moments.
And let’s not forget, the Carabao Cup has a fascinating history dating back to 1960 when it was known as the EFL Cup, and it's the only major domestic competition that doesn’t see winners directly qualifying for European football. Additionally, between 1961 and 1973, the tournament featured a multi-legged final which means a team could technically lift the trophy without ever owning it for a single match! Talk about dramatic!
