Five Carabao Cup third round ties are played this Tuesday night. Four of them involve at least one EFL club, and the make-up of one of those four matches guarantees a League One side will be in the hat for the fourth round.
The rest of the round will be played the following week, split across two midweeks to keep the Champions League and Europa League clubs apart. Here's what to watch out for from an EFL perspective this week.
Leyton Orient vs Bradford City
This is an exciting one. Two League One clubs facing off for a place in the fourth round of the competition. It is a genuinely winnable tie for both sides, and they will both fancy their chances.
