Newcastle Draw Man City in Headline Third Round Tie of 2023-24 Carabao Cup

Last season’s Carabao Cup runners-up, Newcastle United will host Manchester City in the stand-out tie of Third Round draw in this season’s competition.

Eddie Howe’s Magpies will face a difficult start to their Carabao Cup campaign as they look to go one step further than last season, but face a tricky obstacle as they will host eight-time winners, Man City at St James’ Park as both teams enter this season’s competition at this stage.

Manchester United will start their title defence with a home tie against fellow Premier League opposition, Crystal Palace, after the Eagles came from two goals down to defeat Plymouth Argyle in the Second Round.

Lincoln City’s reward for stunning Sheffield United on penalties will be a Third Round clash against another top-flight club, as the Imps next face West Ham at Sincil Bank.

Brentford will meet Arsenal at Gtech Community Stadium in a London derby, whilst Chelsea’s reward for coming from behind to beat AFC Wimbledon is a home tie against Brighton – who had received a bye to this stage for the first time after qualifying for UEFA Europa League.

Salford will again be at home as they host Burnley in the next round after having knocked out Leeds United on penalties, after a 1-1 draw.

2012-13 runners-up, Bradford City will take on 2004 winners, Middlesbrough at Valley Parade in one of four all-EFL ties.

Third Round ties will be played across 26-27 September, with two matches broadcast live on Sky Sports.
