Carabao Cup 3rd round draw simulated as Arsenal get horror tie and holders Man Utd will test Gary Neville’s loyalty

ARSENAL have been drawn away at Liverpool in SunSport’s simulated Carabao Cup draw.

Mikel Arteta’s side could face a tough test if they have to travel to Anfield, with both teams making a strong start in the Premier League.

Arsenal have only beat The Reds once in the last seven meetings between the two sides – a 3-2 home win at The Emirates last season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have been drawn against lower-league opposition in our simulation – Salford.

The Red Devils’ trip to the Peninsula Stadium would be a dream outcome for United legend and Salford co-owner Gary Neville.

The Sky Sports pundit celebrated during commentary as Salford beat Leeds in the previous round, and he spoke about his ambition to play United after the win.

But he refused to reveal which team he would cheer on if the two clubs met in the next round.

Elsewhere in our draw Chelsea have also been given a favourable tie at home to AFC Wimbledon.

The Blues have to overcome Mansfield to reach the third round but if they did they would be amongst the favourites to reach the latter stages of the competition.

The draw also includes multiple all Premier League clashes including Nottingham Forest or Burnley vs Bournemouth.

Manchester City were drawn against Sheffield United or Lincoln while Crystal Palace were pitted against Newcastle following their dramatic comeback victory over Plymouth on Tuesday.

The actual Carabao Cup third-round draw takes place this evening following the conclusion of Doncaster vs Everton.
