The 2025-26 Carabao Cup is in full swing, with the round of 16 taking place on October 29, 2025. Several of the Premier League's biggest teams are in action, hoping to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Defending champions Newcastle United, who made history last season by lifting the league cup for the first time since 1969, are set to host Tottenham Hotspur. The Magpies, led by manager Eddie Howe, are on a run of two consecutive home wins and will be aiming for a third to progress to the next round.
Elsewhere, Liverpool face a rematch against Crystal Palace, who defeated the Reds in their previous Carabao Cup encounter thanks to a last-minute winner from Eddie Nketiah. Jurgen Klopp's side will be looking to avenge that loss and book their spot in the quarter-finals.
In London, league leaders Arsenal take on Brighton, while Chelsea and Manchester City are also in action as they continue their pursuit of the Carabao Cup trophy. With several high-profile clashes on the cards, the round of 16 promises to be an exciting and unpredictable affair.
