Starting Tuesday, the third round of the EFL Carabao Cup brings the seven Premier League teams that have qualified for Europe into the competition. That means there should be some one-sided matches over the next two days, but there are also some upsets, as teams in the top tier rest some players to try to compete in the Premier League.
One of those teams might be Watford, which just got obliterated 8-0 by Manchester City. The Hornets sit at the foot of the table with just two points (and a -14 goal differential), and new manager Quique Sánchez Flores may just decide to prioritize the league instead of a cup run. But either way, Swansea City is a dangerous team, making super fan Brian Dzenis proud right now sitting tied on points with Leeds United at the top of the Championship table.
Manchester City can run out its second and/or third team today and do some damage, as players try to prove to Pep Guardiola that they should be in the first team.
