The draw in full
And despite some blockbuster fixtures being pulled out, including Brentford vs Arsenal and Newcastle vs Manchester City, Sky‘s TV allocation has left fans furious.
The EFL announced two of the 16 games would be shown on Sky.
Manchester United‘s clash against Crystal Palace has been selected for viewing on Tuesday 26 September, while Newcastle vs Man City will be shown Wednesday 27 September.
Fans took to social media to voice their frustration with the picks after lower league sides were snubbed.
One user commented: “Of COURSE both Manchester teams would be picked
“Honestly the selections are nothing about football and lower league team upsets, it’s just so they can get as much advertising money as possible during the game coverage .”
A second said: “What a surprise picking two Prem ties for Carabao Cup.”
“Embarrassing TV selections for the cup,” declared a third.

While a sixth added: “Shocking choice of cup ties. You get to watch united palace and city Newcastle twice a season already.
“Why not show Lincoln vs West Ham chance of a upset and money for Lincoln. Shame on you.”
