ImageThe Carabao Cup's third round typically occurs in September, however as this season's schedule has been drastically altered because of the winter World Cup being held in Qatar, the third round has been postponed by a few months.
The week beginning November 7—the midweek before the Premier League concludes before the tournament in Qatar—will mark the start of the round of 32 matches.

West Ham United, under David Moyes, eliminated the Red Devils from last year's competition in the third round after defeating them 1-0 at Old Trafford.
The last time United won the trophy was in 2017, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice to help the Red Devils defeat Southampton 3-2 and win the cup for Jose Mourinho's team.
The first chance to take home a trophy will come on February 26, 2023 at Wembley during the Carabao Cup final.
Even though four more second-round matches are scheduled for tonight, Fulham is the only Premier League team to have already been eliminated after losing to League Two team Crawley Town.
Ten Hag will undoubtedly be targeting the competition as his first opportunity to win a trophy since taking the reins as Manchester United is ball number 18 in tonight's draw.
