The Carabao Cup third-round schedule has been finalised, with some bumper matches to enjoy all live on Sky Sports in September.

The third round sees the nine Premier League clubs involved in the European competitions join the 23 winners from the second round in 16 ties to be played across two weeks, starting with three eye-catching games on September 16, including Aston Villa's trip to Brentford in a repeat of their recent league meeting at the Gtech.

Swansea City host Nottingham Forest on September 17, before the action resumes the following week on September 23 as Liverpool entertain Southampton, Cardiff City visit Burnley, Barnsley host Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea make the trip to Lincoln City and the all-Premier League clash between Wolves and Everton takes place at Molineux.

And remember, EVERY single tie is live on Sky Sports, so whoever you support, you will not miss a thing, including the draw for the fourth round that follows the Arsenal vs Port Vale clash on September 24.
