EFL Cup PREVIEW 16 Sep 2026: Fleetwood Town chase Carabao Cup history against Sheffield United as Manchester United host Brighton

Fleetwood Town can reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time in the club's history if they beat Sheffield United at Highbury Stadium, and they arrive as the last League Two club left in the competition, unbeaten in all competitions this season after home wins over Chesterfield and Shrewsbury Town in which captain Ched Evans, a former Sheffield United forward, scored in both rounds. "They're a Championship team managed by an amazing manager who has won so much throughout his career," said Fleetwood head coach Matt Lawlor of Chris Wilder's side.
