The remaining Carabao Cup second round ties will take place this evening, with five places still up for grabs in the third round.
The likes of Chelsea, who host AFC Wimbledon at Stamford Bridge tonight, will be hoping to be in the hat for when the draw for the next round of the competition takes place.
Despite the Carabao Cup being historically viewed as England’s second domestic cup competition, the remaining teams will be desperate to get their hands on the trophy at Wembley next year – replicating Manchester United’s victory over Newcastle in last season’s showpiece under the arch.
Let’s take stock of the teams who are still left in the competition and those who have already made an early exit.
Which teams are still remaining in the Carabao Cup?
A total of 32 teams will be in the draw for the third round of the Carabao Cup.
