The 2026/27 Carabao Cup live streams have reached the fourth-round stage as what started as the EFL's 92 clubs are now reduced to just 16. Man City are defending champions and Enzo Maresca's side face Brighton in one of six all-Premier League fixtures.
The tie of the round, though, is undoubtedly Liverpool vs Chelsea on Wednesday in a repeat of the 2022 and 2024 finals. Blues boss Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield for the first time in a domestic game seeking to improve from the weekend's insipid loss to Tottenham, who the Reds knocked out in Round 3.
Bournemouth face Aston Villa in contest of two in-form teams, while Sunderland host Brentford with the Black Cats needing some momentum after a poor Premier League start. On Thursday, Everton host Newcastle needing a win to kickstart their season again.
We begin on Tuesday, though, with an all-League One tie between high-flying Bradford and Peterborough, recently taken over by pantomime villain Robbie Savage. Also on Tuesday, Arsenal visit Highbury – no, we haven't gone mad and/or back in time, the Gunners travel to windswept Lancashire and take on fourth-tier Fleetwood.
