Fleetwood Town Reach Carabao Cup Fourth Round for First Time as Villa and Everton Also Advance
The Carabao Cup fourth-round lineup is set after a night of third-round action, with Aston Villa beating Coventry 3-1, Everton edging past Wolves 1-0, and Fleetwood Town causing the shock of the round by beating Sheffield United 1-0 to reach the last 16 for the first time in the club's history.
Everton continued their unbeaten start to the season with a narrow win at Molineux, while Aston Villa eased past a struggling Coventry side still searching for their first Premier League points. The night's standout story belonged to League One's Fleetwood Town, who upset Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield United to book a historic first-ever appearance in the Carabao Cup's fourth round.
The results confirm the full lineup ahead of Wednesday's fourth-round draw, joining Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, who advanced earlier in the week, with several Premier League heavyweights, including Manchester United, now eliminated from the competition entirely.
