London, England – Today na another matter wey dey vex football fans as the Carabao Cup third round draw dey happen dis evening, August 27, 2025. E go show live for Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports News, right after Manchester United waka go Grimsby Town for second round clash wey dem kick off by 8pm. Na who go carry trophy go Wembley this year? (Wembley, that place wey dey sweet pass, no be small.)

As e be, we don enter di competition at dis stage alongside big boys like Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace. Dem suppose call us ‘di big boys’ crew (abi wetin you think?). All di ball numbers wey dey go front go confirm on top Wednesday morning.

But e get wetin dey ground o, because di EFL don set some strict rules. We no go fit draw any side wey dey compete for Champions League or Europa League. What dis means be say, we go need to sharp our eyes well (no time to dull) as di draw go get two parts: di first one go determine whether di teams wey dey Europe go play for home or away.

After di Manchester United match for Blundell Park, di main draw go happen. Dem go separate di bowls into two: one wey get di eight European teams, and di other with di rest 24 clubs. So, we fit draw wey side we go face for di third round. As we dey gisting, some of di potential opponents we fit see na Lincoln City, Doncaster Rovers, Wigan Athletic, Bradford City, Burnley, Port Vale, Wrexham, and many more. E go sweet if we fit draw some small club like Grimsby, abi wetin you think? (No vex, no wolves o, dem dey bite well.)

Di Carabao Cup fixtures go dey spread across two weeks, because some teams go dey busy with Champions League and Europa League. Our match go dey happen week of September 22, 2025, as na when we go fit join di fun.

Last year, Newcastle United carry di Carabao Cup wey dem don dey wait for since 56 years. Dem beat Liverpool 2-1. E be like sey dem don finally break di trophy jinx? Anyway, every team wey don win dis cup go get special sleeve patch for dem jersey. We don carry di trophy two times, in 1987 and 1993, so we go dey rock number two for our sleeve! No be small matter! (Arsenal and history be bestie, or na senpai?)

So, make we sit down, dey sip palm wine, and watch di drama unfold tonight. Because who blinks first, fit lose big. Na so football be, full of surprises wetin fit carry you reach di top or put you for your ass. Time go tell!
