Carabao Cup 3rd Round Draw: Man City Face Preston & Liverpool Handed MK Dons Trip
The draw for the third round of this season's Carabao Cup has been made, with holders Manchester City facing an away clash against Preston, while Liverpool will travel to MK Dons.
City, who beat Chelsea on penalties in last year's final after a goalless draw at Wembley, are one of the seven teams who qualified for Europe last season to enter the competition at the third round stage.
