Carabao Cup Third Round: Why Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United cannot play each other.

The Carabao Cup third-round draw will take place on Wednesday at 10.15pm UK time.

However, for the 2024/2025 competition, the organizers have implemented new restrictions.

The adjustment will ensure that Champions League and Europa League clubs' fixture dates do not conflict.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have all qualified for the Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United compete in the Europa League.

According to the new rules, Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur will not meet each other in the third round.
