There's no rest for the weary as the 2021-22 Carabao Cup begins with a massive slate of games.
The first round will see a total of 70 teams in action — all 24 clubs from each of League One and League Two as well as 22 Championship sides. It's a frantic kick off to the new campaign as the need to pare the field down becomes paramount, with two additional Championship sides and all 20 Premier League clubs set to enter the competition within the next two stages.
Manchester City is the defending champion, and a win here and in the next stage will earn on team a shot at dethroning the Sky Blues when they join the fray in the third round.
Here's the full schedule for the first round of the Carabao Cup, plus how to watch select games live on DAZN.
