Watch Carabao Cup 2026/27 live streams
Carabao Cup 2026/27 steps things up a notch now, with a pair of blockbuster ties – Man City vs Brighton and Liverpool vs Chelsea – headlining an eight-game slate of 4th-round fixtures. Also on the cards are a showdown between red-hot Bournemouth and Aston Villa, and the first ever meeting between Fleetwood Town and Arsenal.
The Seagulls are unbeaten in four against Man City, and they also won their only previous League Cup meeting, back in 2008 when they were a struggling League One outfit. It was an incredible game too, which went to a penalty shootout after Glenn Murray's last-minute equaliser forced extra-time.
Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield as Chelsea manager, something that was unthinkable until he took the job last summer. He may be a Reds legend, but there are some divides you just don't cross, and Andoni Iraola's men will want to pile further misery on the Spaniard, who's overseen three defeats in his last seven games.
