For the first time, three Welsh teams have reached the fourth round and two will play each other as Wrexham host Cardiff, Championship side Swansea will welcome Manchester City.

In the 65 previous editions of the League Cup, Wales has only once had more than one side in the last 16, when Swansea City and Wrexham made it that far in 1976-77, Wrexham and Cardiff will play each other for the first time in 21 years having not met since an FAW Cup contest in 2004.

Brentford will travel to Blundell Park to take on League Two Grimsby, who downed Manchester United in the second round, while Wycombe welcome Fulham.

Holders Newcastle United started their defence of the Carabao Cup with a comfortable win against Bradford City as Joelinton and William Osula both scored twice.

Eddie Howe’s side ended a 70 year wait for major domestic silverware by lifting the trophy at Wembley last season with victory over Liverpool, and they took control of this third round tie against the League One leaders with two goals in as many first half minutes at St James Park.

Joelinton pounced on a loose ball inside the area to score the first in the 17th minute, ending a nine month goal drought after Anthony Gordon saw an initial effort blocked.

Striker Osula doubled Newcastle’s lead just two minutes later after he latched on to Bruno Guimaraes wonderful through ball and coolly finished past Bradford goalkeeper Sam Walker, the hosts had more opportunities to extend their lead in the second half before Joelinton made it 3-0 in the 75th minute with a composed finish from inside the box.

Substitute Andy Cook pulled one back for Bradford late on after the boyhood Newcastle fan unleashed a venomous effort in off the underside of the bar from the edge of the area, but Osula restored the hosts three goal advantage with a close range finish as Howe’s side booked a home meeting with Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16

Phil Foden scored one and provided the assist for Savinho

Phil Foden scored one and provided the assist for the second to help Manchester City battle past League One Huddersfield Town and reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Pep Guardiola’s side are on a run of six games in the space of 18 days in three different competitions and required the contributions of England international Foden to advance in the competition, Foden broke the deadlock on 18 minutes by drilling an unerring finish low into the corner following a quick give and go with teenage debutant Divine Mukasa.

The 25 year old was full of confidence, spraying delightful passes around the pitch, and could have doubled his tally but curled a 25 yard free kick over the crossbar.

The hosts had openings in the first half when the ball dropped nicely for Zepiqueno Redmond on the edge of the area, but the on loan Aston Villa forward blazed his effort over, while captain Ben Wiles dragged wide from a promising position.

But City continued to patiently work openings in the second half and got their reward 16 minutes from time when Foden squeezed out a pass to Savinho, who smashed home a finish via the underside of the crossbar.

Eberechi Eze scored his first goal for Arsenal

Eberechi Eze scored his first goal for Arsenal as they beat League One side Port Vale to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round, the forward, who joined the Gunners in a deal worth £60m last month, opened the scoring in the eighth minute when he slotted in from Gabriel Martinelli’s pass.

It was his first goal in his sixth appearance for the club and he could have had a second just before the break when he was slipped through by Mikel Merino, but he was denied by Port Vale goalkeeper Joe Gauci.

The hosts, who were promoted to League One at the end of last season, battled well against their Premier League opponents and caused them issues at times from set pieces.

While the game remained 1-0, they always had a chance of getting a leveller, and that almost came with 15 minutes to go when substitute Devante Cole curled a shot from distance just over, but Leandro Trossard drove in late on to make certain of Arsenal’s place in the next round where they will host his former club Brighton.

Bayern Munich loanee Joao Palhinha made a debut against Doncaster

Tottenham continued their strong start to life under Thomas Frank and sealed a spot in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with victory against Doncaster, Frank showed the depth of his squad, making seven changes to the side that drew at Brighton on Saturday, and they did not skip a beat.

Tottenham did not have to wait long to get in front with Bayern Munich loanee Joao Palhinha finishing with an overhead kick after League One Doncaster failed to fully clear a corner.

Defender Jay McGrath was caught flat footed when trying to deal with Wilson Odobert’s cross three minutes later and subsequently hooked into his own net to double Tottenham’s lead.

Doncaster had already taken a scalp to reach this stage of the competition beating Championship side Middlesbrough in round one, but they were no match for Premier League opposition, they came out with intent after half time and almost pulled one back when Glenn Middleton’s free kick kissed the side netting.

Lucas Bergvall had a goal ruled out for offside in additional time but Brennan Johnson took his opportunity when clean through on goal to grab a third with the last kick of the game.
