Carabao Cup fourth round draw LIVE: Arsenal and Chelsea discover fate after big wins
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Carabao Cup fourth round draw, courtesy of football.london .
Arsenal and Chelsea have both advanced into the next round after wins over Ipswich Town and Leeds United, respectively. The Blues came from behind to win a thrilling match 6-3 last week while Mikel Arteta's side put four past the Tractor Boys before later conceding two consolation goals.
West Ham United and Tottenham were both knocked on Tuesday while the likes of Liverpool and Brentford have qualified. They follow Newcastle United, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and several others into the next round with their fixtures taking place earlier this month.
Four more third round games are taking place tonight with a fifth on Thursday that will complete the field. However, the draw is taking place at around 10:15pm this evening, after Manchester United vs Brighton at Old Trafford.
With all of that being said, stay with us throughout the evening as we bring you live coverage of the draw and updates from those games taking place over the coming hours!
A flowing move down the right is finished by substitute Maxim De Cuyper. Elsewhere, Everton have gone in front against Wolves through Charly Alcaraz.
Aston Villa have now extended their lead away to Coventry City through Tammy Abraham and look set to be in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
It is currently unclear which of Brighton or Manchester United will be in the hat as Pascal Gross has just equalised at Old Trafford.
Everton's home clash against Wolves could be heading for penalties with a goal yet to be scored after 75 minutes.
David Moyes' side have dominated the clash but are yet to find a breakthrough while the Championship have had just four shots.
Fleetwood Town are aiming to become the lowest-ranked team still in the Carabao Cup and they have taken a big step towards doing exactly that.
An own goal from Sheffield United's Rhys Norrington-Davies has put them in front after 57 minutes!
There is another first half goal at Old Trafford with Charalampos Kostoulas pulling one back for Brighton at Manchester United with a great finish past Karl Darlow!
We are seemingly set for quite the second 45 minutes...
Coventry were level for just 13 minutes with Ross Barkley putting Aston Villa back in front just before half-time.
These 8pm matches are certainly proving to be better than the one that got underway 15 minutes earlier.
The 7:45pm kick-offs have reached half time with no goals but Coventry have equalised against Aston Villa with Victor Torp on target. Tammy Abraham got the opener for Unai Emery's side.
At Old Trafford, Shea Lacey and Mason Mount were the players on target.
There are five third round ties left to play with four of those ongoing.
Everton vs Wolves and Fleetwood Town vs Sheffield United are goalless. Aston Villa lead local rivals Coventry City while Manchester United have managed a quickfire double against Brighton after just nine minutes.
The final fixture takes place tomorrow evening with Manchester City hosting Norwich.
