Manchester City to face Swansea

ENGLISH League Cup holders Manchester City will begin their defence of the trophy at fellow Premier club Swansea City following the third-round draw on Wednesday.

Champions Leicester City host Chelsea, Arsenal travel to Championship (second-tier) Nottingham Forest and last season’s runners-up, Liverpool, visit Championship Derby County in other highlights of the third-round draw.
