The Carabao Cup fourth round is set, with 16 clubs still in contention and battling for a place in the quarterfinals.
The tournament's 67th edition got underway in August, with sides from the Premier League, EFL Championship, League One, and League Two all vying for a shot at Wembley Stadium on March 21.
The opening two rounds played out with relatively little fanfare before several of the Premier League's heavyweights joined the competition in the third round. Last season's runners-up Arsenal comfortably dispatched Ipswich Town, while Liverpool emphatically knocked out Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United suffered a stunning home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, and defending champions Manchester City are heavy favorites to see off Norwich City on Thursday.
Even more compelling clashes await in the fourth round. Take a look at the complete list of fixtures scheduled for late October.

When Is the Carabao Cup Fourth Round?

The fourth round fixtures are scheduled for the week of Oct. 26. Teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and likely Manchester City will need to keep juggling this competition alongside their Premier League and Champions League commitments.
Bournemouth, Sunderland, and Crystal Palace face a similar challenge, though theirs involves the Europa League. Brighton are the sole Conference League side remaining in the Carabao Cup, though they'll hardly be deterred by a congested fixture list after their remarkable turnaround against United.
The clubs mentioned above will face six matches across all competitions within just three weeks of October, following the newly restructured combined autumn international break.
