Chelsea will host Leeds United if they can overcome Luton Town in their remaining second-round tie. Elsewhere, Newcastle United will travel to London to play Millwall. Fleetwood Town, who are the only fourth-tier team remaining in the competition, will host Sheffield United for a place in the fourth round.

  • Second round concludes on Thursday

    Before the third round begins, the remaining second-round ties must be completed on Thursday. While Chelsea play Luton Town, West Ham United await the winner of the clash between Fulham and AFC Wimbledon. The teams that successfully navigate these final fixtures will complete the full 16-match lineup for the next stage. The draw has provided plenty of intrigue, with Bradford City earning a tie against Leyton Orient following their penalty shootout victory over Burnley.
