The draw for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup will take place tonight.

Premier League leaders Liverpool required another late goal to defeat Southampton and move onto the next round, although they lost Hugo Ekitike to a “stupid” and “needless” red card for removing his shirt in celebration.

Chelsea had to come from behind to beat Lincoln while Brighton scored six in their win over Barnsley. After stunning Manchester United on penalties, Grimsby Town continued their run by knocking out Sheffield Wednesday last week, while Cardiff, Wycombe and Wrexham remain in the draw, too.

The remaining third-round fixtures will take place this evening, ahead of the fourth-round draw, with the likes of League One Port Vale hosting the might of Arsenal and defending champions Newcastle United also facing third-tier opposition in Bradford City.
