Club football gets back underway in England with the round of 16 in the Carabao Cup, and there are some underdogs still in the running alongside a few familiar giants.
The biggest underdogs are Gillingham, who currently play in League Two, taking on Premier League side Wolves. The Gills pulled off a massive upset in the third round when they defeated Brentford after a penalty shootout, and now they look to repeat the feat at Wolverhampton.
While Gillingham are the lowest-ranked side remaining in the League Cup, there are a few other Premier League vs. lower division matches on offer in this round. They include League One's MK Dons hosting Leicester City, Championship club Blackburn vs. Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic (League One) vs. Brighton, Southampton vs. Lincoln (League One) and Manchester United vs. Burnley (Championship).
Following those games, the glamour match of the round goes on Thursday as Manchester City host Liverpool.
Here's everything you need to know about the third round, including the kick-off times and how to watch in Canada:
