When is the Carabao Cup fourth round draw? Ball numbers, start time and TV channel

Manchester United have already booked their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round draw.

But will their star-studded neighbours Manchester City join them in the hat? In a revamped competition, the third round has taken place across two weeks this season, with City in action against Watford tonight.

Regardless, they will still be favourites to get the job done against Championship opposition as Watford make the trip to the Etihad Stadium.
