Newcastle United made it three different League Cup winners in as many years the previous season, but the Magpies would not be the first repeat winners since Man City did it in 2021. They were denied by City over two legs in the semifinal stage.

Arsenal have not won the League Cup since a 1993 defeat of Sheffield Wednesday, while City were in their first League Cup final since beating Spurs in 2021.

The League Cup may be the least celebrated of the in-season tournaments, but it’s given us a number of treats over the years dating back to wins from Middlesbrough, Birmingham City, and Swansea City earlier this century.

Below are all the results from the third round forward, when Premier League teams joined this season’s tournament.
