Arsenal is drawn in a terrible match against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup's third round simulation.
SunSport's fictitious Carabao Cup draw has ARSENAL traveling to Liverpool.
Given that both clubs have had promising starts in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's squad may have a difficult test if they must go to Anfield.
In the last seven games between the two teams, Arsenal has only defeated The Reds once, a 3-2 home victory at The Emirates last year.
In our scenario, Salford represents lower-league opponents that Manchester United will face.
Gary Neville, a United icon and co-owner of Salford, would consider a trip by the Red Devils to the Peninsula Stadium to be a dream result.
Chelsea has also been granted a favorable matchup at home against AFC Wimbledon elsewhere in our draw.
The Blues must defeat Mansfield in order to advance to the third round, although if they did, they would rank among the favorites to advance to the competition's latter rounds.
The draw also included some matches between Premier League teams, such as Burnley vs. Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City was paired with either Sheffield United or Lincoln, while Crystal Palace—following their thrilling comeback victory against Plymouth on Tuesday—was paired with Newcastle.
Immediately after the finish of Doncaster vs. Everton this evening, the genuine Carabao Cup third-round draw will take place.
