Carabao Cup fourth round draw time: TV channel, live stream and ball numbers info for live draw
Carabao Cup draw has already courted more than its share of controversy this season - here's what the EFL have in store for us this time around
THE Carabao Cup returns this week and the EFL will hope that it does so without the controversy of previous rounds.
Most of this has centred around the draws, with John Salako making the comical error of drawing home balls away and away balls home in the second round draw.

But the hysteria surrounding that draw paled in comparison with what was to come in the third round draw.

Now here's what's in store for the fourth round draw.
What are the numbers for the draw?
- AFC Bournemouth
- Bristol City
- Crystal Palace
- Leeds United
- Leicester City
- Middlesbrough
- Norwich City
- Swansea City

- West Ham United
- Wolverhampton Wanderers
- Arsenal / Doncaster Rovers
- Chelsea / Nottingham Forest
- Everton / Sunderland
- Manchester United / Burton Albion
- West Bromwich Albion / Manchester City
When is the Carabao Cup fourth round draw?
Mercifully, the EFL have agreed to hold the fourth round draw at a time when all but the youngest fans will still be awake.
It will take place after the conclusion of the televised Manchester United vs Burton Albion match tonight - Wednesday, September 20.
That means it is likely to occur at around 10pm.
What TV channel will the draw be on?
The draw will be live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event.
Again, a big step up from having to rely on the competition's Twitter feed.
Where is the draw being held?
The fourth round draw will be held a little closer to home than the last one.
Sky Sports studios in west London is the venue.
