Holders Man Utd to host Burton Albion in EFL Cup

The holders of the EFL Cup, Manchester United, are to host Burton Albion, following a draw in China that was not without controversy.

The third-round draw took place in Beijing, at 4.15am UK time. Previous draws for the newly-named Carabao Cup were slated on social media, as fans complained of no sound being broadcast and teams being drawn twice, with some more confusion over home and away ties.

The latest draw started late and once it got going there was no live coverage. Bleary-eyed fans were told they could follow updates on Twitter.

All ties drawn:

West Bromwich Albion v Manchester City

Everton v Sunderland

Leicester City v Liverpool

Manchester United v Burton Albion

Brentford v Norwich City

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Bristol Rovers

Burnley v Leeds

Arsenal v Doncaster Rovers

Bristol City v Stoke City

Reading v Swansea City

Aston Villa v Middlesbrough

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest

West Ham United v Bolton Wanderers

Crystal Palace v Huddersfield Town

Tottenham Hotspur v Barnsley/Derby County

Bournemouth v Brighton and Hove Albion

The fixtures will be played in the week commencing 18 September.
