Talk:2016–17 EFL Cup

Team allocation
Not confirmed yet, but the likely allocation is:

First Round
24 teams from League Two + 24 teams from League One + 22 teams from Championship (Newcastle Utd and Norwich City (18th and 19th in previous season's EPL) will have a bye but Aston Villa (20th) will take part in first round) = 70 teams 35 winners advance

Second Round
35 first round winners + 13 Premier League teams not in Europe + 2 byes (Newcastle Utd and Norwich City) = 50 teams 25 winners advance

Third Round
25 second round winners + 7 Premier League teams in Europe = 32 teams 16 winners advance

Fourth Round
16 third round winners, straight knock-out from here on...Chris0282 (talk) 20:12, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
