How to watch the Carabao Cup in the US
CBS Sports has the Carabao Cup in the US, and the games it picks stream live on Paramount+. Not every tie is shown, so check the Paramount+ schedule for the one you want. In the UK, every tie this round is on Sky Sports, with Liverpool v Chelsea also on ITV.
The ties to watch
Liverpool v Chelsea (Wednesday, 8:00pm UK / 4:00pm ET)
The pick of the round, and the one game that's on free-to-air TV in the UK. Chelsea lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham on Saturday, with Cole Palmer sent off, so they'll want a reaction.
Man City v Brighton (Wednesday, 7:30pm UK / 3:30pm ET)
City's perfect league start ended at Villa Park on Saturday. Brighton are having the best start to a Premier League season in their history. It's probably the toughest draw City could have had.
Fleetwood v Arsenal (Tuesday, 8:00pm UK / 4:00pm ET)
The only Premier League side playing away to a lower-league club this round. Arsenal are level on points with City at the top of the league, so expect changes.
