Manchester United host Burton Albion in EFL Cup

Reigning EFL Cup champions Manchester United have been drawn to face Championship outfit Burton Albion in the third round of the competition.

In the draw, held controversially overnight in Beijing, Liverpool were handed an away tie at Leicester City, while Arsenal were pulled out to host Doncaster Rovers of League One.

The lowest-ranked team in the pot, third-tier Bristol Rovers, will travel to Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers, who saw off last season's runners-up Southampton on Wednesday evening.

Manchester City visit West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea host Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur will play either Barnsley or Derby County at Wembley.

The ties will be played in the week beginning September 18.
