Tuesday sees the commencement of the Carabao Cup Third Round, with a final seven teams from England’s top tier entering the competition.
All-in-all, 16 ties will be played across Tuesday and Wednesday evening, and there are no shortage of interesting match-ups.
Here’s our preview…
Giant-killing at the Emirates?
The last time Arsenal and Doncaster Rovers met was in this very tournament, at the quarter-final stage back in 2005.
On that night at Belle Vue, Rovers gave their Premier League opponents a scare — drawing 2-2 in normal time, before being edged out 3-1 by the Gunners on penalties.
You have to go back as far as 1902 for a Doncaster victory in this fixture, but should they prevail on Wednesday night, it would surely be one of their finest hours.
Leeds reunion for Wood and Taylor
Just a matter of weeks after swapping Elland Road for Turf Moor, Burnley striker Chris Wood, and defender Charlie Taylor will face former Leeds United team-mates on Tuesday night.
The 25-year-old front man was prolific throughout the 2016/17 campaign for the Whites — scoring 27 times on his way to the Sky Bet Championship Golden Boot.
He’s begun his career in Lancashire well too, having found the back of the net twice in his first four appearances, but Leeds are coping fine in front of goal – they've hit back-to-back hat-tricks in this competition courtesy of Samu Saiz and Kemar Roofe.
TV games
Sky Sports’ coverage of the Third Round sees two live matches from the King Power Stadium and Old Trafford respectively.
First up on Tuesday night is an all-Premier League encounter between Leicester City and Liverpool.
The Foxes triumphed 3-1 in the two sides’ last competitive meeting, while the men from Anfield won the only previous clash the pair have had in this competition.
Attention then shifts to the Carabao Cup holders, with Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United side beginning their defence at home to Burton Albion on Wednesday.
In 2006, Nigel Clough and the Brewers – then in the Conference – held the Red Devils to a draw in an FA Cup Third Round tie, before losing 5-0 in the replay at Old Trafford. Now just one division separates the sides as they meet for just the third time.
The draw for Round Four will be live on Sky Sports News following the conclusion of this tie.

Barnsley make the trip to Wembley on Tuesday night for their encounter against Tottenham Hotspur, while Nottingham Forest also visit the capital to take on Chelsea – the two have nine League Cup triumphs between them.
Sky Bet League One outfit Bristol Rovers meet an in-form Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, while their city rivals, Bristol City, host Stoke City after dumping out Watford in Round Two.
