Ball numbers, how to watch live, fixture dates, potential opponents – Carabao Cup fourth round draw

The Carabao Cup fourth round draw will get underway as third round fixtures draw to a close in the second week of contests being played up and down the country.

For Manchester City – who are widely seen as the favourites to claim this season’s title – they defeated Watford at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, courtesy of first-half goals from Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes.

A late strike from Tom Ince would force concentration until the very final minute for Manchester City however, who proceed into the fourth round of the competition and maintain their unbeaten run this season.

It is the fourth competition that Manchester City have competed in so far this season, having already claimed the FA Community Shield title ahead of Manchester United, before getting their respective Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns underway.
