The third round of the English League Cup took place with many surprises. Except for Tottenham, the remaining 5 teams of the Big 6 England group all participated in the 4th round of the English League Cup (Carabao Cup). Immediately after the matches in round 3 ended, the draw results of round 4 of the Federation Cup were announced. Unexpectedly, the lucky draw created 2 very interesting big match matches in round 4. Man Utd has to face Chelsea, while Arsenal has a very difficult draw with Liverpool.
Man Utd passed the third round but Solskjaer's team disappointed the home fans when they were held to a 1-1 draw by the third-place Rochdale in the 90th minute of the official match. It was not until the brain-weighing gunfighting series that the Red Devils won tickets to the next round. In contrast, Chelsea easily crushed Grimsby Town with a score of 7-1.
In the opening round of the Premier League this season, Man Utd defeated Chelsea with a score of 4-0. But since that match, the Red Devils have been a disappointment. In the upcoming rematch against The Blues, Solskjaer and his team are expected to face many difficulties, especially when they have to visit Stamford Bridge.
Similarly, Arsenal also have difficulty visiting Anfield, where they lost 1-3 to Liverpool in the Premier League this season.
In the English giants, Man City is the easiest team because they only have to host Southampton at the Etihad Stadium. With a favorable draw, Guardiola's team can be completely confident in their ability to successfully defend the English League Cup championship. In the remaining matches, Everton will face Watford. Meanwhile, Wolves and Aston Villa will make a Midlands derby.
According to the schedule, the matches of the 4th round of the English League Cup will take place in the tournament week starting from October 28.
