The fixtures are scheduled to take place week commencing October 28.

The ties will likely take place on the Tuesday and Wednesday of that week, where some ties will, of course, be selected for TV.

Will there be any prize money?

Rightly or wrongly, there is no prize money available in the Carabao Cup until the semi-final stage.

The tournament’s winner is handed a final prize of £100,000.
