Tonight: Arsenal enter the Carabao Cup draw
The third-round draw follows Preston v Everton at about 10.30pm UK time tonight.
Arsenal enter the Carabao Cup in the third round after reaching last season’s final. The official club guide says the draw will follow Preston North End v Everton at approximately 10.30pm UK time tonight, Wednesday 26 August, live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Arsenal’s ball number had not been confirmed when the guide was published. Because Arsenal are also in the Champions League, the third-round tie is scheduled for the week commencing 14 September, with the exact date still to be confirmed.
Arsenal are in pot one for Thursday’s 5pm UK league-phase draw in Monaco.
The official Arsenal guide places the Champions League league-phase draw at 5pm UK time on Thursday 27 August. Arsenal are in pot one. In the 36-team format, the club will receive one home and one away opponent from each pot and cannot be drawn against another Premier League club. COYG will update the programme after the draw rather than speculate about opponents.
Arsenal’s first league away game is at Aston Villa on Monday 31 August at 8pm UK time.
The official Arsenal fixture page lists Aston Villa away for 8pm UK time on Monday 31 August. The date and time remain subject to competition and broadcast changes, so COYG shows the official checked time and keeps the source one tap away.
