The Carabao Cup third-round draw has been completed, with nine Premier League clubs competing in Europe entering the competition at this stage.
The draw produced five all-Premier League ties, with a potential sixth depending on the outcome of Chelsea’s second-round match against League One side Luton Town on Thursday.
The standout fixture is Liverpool’s home meeting with Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United will host Brighton & Hove Albion, while Manchester City, the defending champions, have been drawn at home against Championship side Norwich City.
Premier League champions Arsenal face an away trip to Ipswich Town, while Coventry City will meet Aston Villa in a Midlands derby.
Sunderland, meanwhile, will host Hull City.
The 16 ties, to be played across the weeks beginning September 7 and September 14, are:
The nine Premier League teams competing in European competitions this season, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Sunderland, all enter the Carabao Cup in the third round.
The eight clubs involved in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League were kept apart in the draw to help avoid scheduling conflicts.
UEFA competition fixtures cannot be rearranged, while Champions League and Europa League matches are also scheduled during the same two weeks as the Carabao Cup third round.
A pre-draw was therefore conducted to determine which of the eight European clubs would play at home or away, before the remaining 24 teams were drawn without seeding.
Leeds United will face either Chelsea or Luton Town, with Chelsea hosting the League One side in their second-round tie on Thursday at 19:30 BST.
West Ham United will host either Fulham or AFC Wimbledon. Fulham face AFC Wimbledon in their second-round tie, also on Thursday, at 20:00 BST.
The third-round matches will be played across the weeks commencing September 7 and September 14.
