Up for the cup Carabao cup draw in full as Grimsby handed tricky tie after dumping Man Utd out as Arsenal and Chelsea learn their fate




The League Two side shocked the footballing world by beating Ruben Amorim's flops at Blundell Park on Wednesday night.

Former Carrington academy product Tyrell Warren - who is best pals with Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford - had put the Mariners 2-0 ahead and on the brink of making history.

But £60million summer signing Bryan Mbeumo and £80million Maguire levelled affairs in the second half - but the former Brentford man's decisive spot kick hit the crossbar to send Grimsby through.

Elsewhere, holders Newcastle United will begin their defence at home to League One high flyers Bradford City, while last year's beaten finalists Liverpool host Southampton.

Arsenal face a potential banana skin as they travel to League One side Port Vale, while Chelsea also travel to Lincoln.

Spurs will host Doncaster, while Aston Villa travel to Brentford.

Man City face a trip to Huddersfield, currently managed by ex-Man Utd star Lee Grant.

Crystal Palace will also face Millwall in a brutal south London derby, renewing their rivalries from last season's fiery FA Cup clash.

Hollywood-owned Wrexham will welcome Reading to the Racecourse Ground, while Wolves and Everton will face off in an all-Premier League tie.

Wigan Athletic will also host Wycombe Wanderers, ensuring at least one team from the third tier is in the fourth-round draw.

Ties will be split over the weeks commencing Monday 15 September and Monday 22 September. (THE SUN)
