The draws for the Third Round of the EFL Cup have been done, and it sets up a number of mouthwatering draws.

The EPL Cup Third-Round draws have been done following the last set of Round Two games that took place tonight. 

Chelsea played in the round due to their league finish and had to beat Wimbledon FC to enter the Third Round. 

They went behind in the 19th minute, conceding a penalty to James Tilley, but Noni Madueke pulled level from the spot as well in first-half added time.  

Enzo Fernandez scored the winner in the 72nd minute—his first Chelsea goal—helping the Blues advance. 

The top seven from last season's Premier League campaign entered the third round of the competition, and all Premier League clashes among big teams were all the more available. 

Manchester United will start their title defence against Crystal Palace; Arsenal will travel to Brentford; Liverpool host Leicester; and Manchester City play Newcastle United.
