2026-27 Draws for cups we're definitely going to win

Apparently it's because European games can't be rescheduled, so if there's a clash the fixture needs to be rearrangeable.

Someone explained it to me last night at my kid's footy training, and it made sense at the time, but I can't remember why now.

Yeah, that's my point - surely needing to rearrange 1 fixture (two European teams playing each other) is better than rearranging two fixtures (the same two teams playing somebody else)

Agree, but when the person explained it to me I was like 'oh right, yeah that does actually make sense'.

Zero idea what that explanation was now though unfortunately.

Champions league teams can play Champions League teams. Europa League teams can play Europa League teams. They just can't play each other and the League Cup are making it easy for them by separating them all.

Thanks for the information, still no need to favour the CL teams , I mean the further they advance anyway causes congestion, just look at Arsenal Palace last season....around Xmas......

Am sure there is a better way to do it , and what the fuck do they all get Home draws

Round Three: w/c 7 September and w/c 14 September 2026

There are championship matches on the 8th and 9th September, so this match will be the midweek after. Wolves are playing on Sunday 13th which rules out Tuesday. We're playing Saturday 19th which rules out Thursday.

So pretty much guaranteed to be on Wednesday 16th September.

There's a shouty screamy band in the name of Spiritbox playing at the Co-op that night, so looks like I've got a choice to make!

Cesar Peixoto’s side will now travel to Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium for a Carabao Cup tie on Wednesday 9th September (7.45pm) – the night the Old Gold were originally due to host Portsmouth in the Championship.

As Liverpool have been selected for TV coverage on 16th September and are unable to play at home on the same night as the Toffees, the Wolves cup tie must take place on 9th September.

It means the Molineux fixture against Portsmouth in the Championship has now been pushed back one week and will take place on Wednesday 16th September, 7.45pm kick-off.

This club, confirming the fixture before the CL fixtures

Everton's Carabao Cup tie with Wolves set to be moved to September 8 owing to #LFC's opening Champions League game with Atletico Madrid taking place at Anfield on September 9

Arsenal
Man City (although can't completely write off Brighton)
Sunderland/Brentford
Liverpool/Chelsea
Bradford/Peterborough
Fulham/Crystal Palace
Bournemouth/Aston Villa

We don't really know how good Newcastle are at this point but them at home followed by ideally Bradford/Peterborough or even Fulham/Palace would be a lovely route to the SFs

[Shogun]

This Newcastle match will be a Thursday night then?

Sat Arsenal v Everton / Chelsea v Spurs
Sun Palace v Newcastle / Liverpool v Brighton

Wed Liverpool v Chelsea
Thur Everton v Newcastle (Cup)

Sat Chelsea v Man United
Sun Liverpool v Arsenal
Mon Newcastle v Everton (League)

Obviously the shite and us won't both be at home on the same night.

We can't play on the Tuesday likely with Newcastle playing on the previous Sunday whilst we don't play again until the Monday. The shite play Sunday too so presumably won't be Tuesday and can't be Thursday because of Chelsea playing on Saturday.

So Thursday (a bit like Man City v Norwich tonight) seems likely?

Thursday confirmed

I’d never had guessed ITV would’ve picked those little known clubs which never get a game on tv
