Capital One Cup: Manchester United draw Liverpool in third round
There will be a clash worthy of a final in the third round of the Capital One Cup as Manchester United will face Liverpool. There will also be other all-Premier League third-round clashes as Arsenal travel to West Brom, Aston Villa host Tottenham, West Ham face Cardiff and Everton play Fulham. Trophy holders Swansea will travel to meet Championship side Birmingham. Manchester City will host Wigan, while Chelsea will face League One side Swindon on 24-25 September. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who received a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April, could make his return on the pitch when Liverpool visit to Old Trafford. He will miss the Premier League game between the two sides at Anfield this Sunday due to his suspension. Manchester United have faced Liverpool on four previous occasions in the League Cup, losing the finals in 1983 and 2003 plus a tie at Anfield in November 1985 but winning the only meeting at Old Trafford in 1990. Premier League side Southampton will face League One's Bristol City to St Mary's, while Leeds travel to Newcastle, who managed to sneak past Morecambe on Wednesday. Norwich face Championship side Watford at Vicarage Road. Here are the current League Cup outright odds at Bet365: Manchester City - 11/2 Chelsea - 6/1 Manchester United - 8/1 Arsenal - 9/1 Tottenham - 10/1
