Explained in plain English
What is the Carabao Cup?
The Carabao Cup is one of England's major football knockout competitions, open to all 92 clubs in the Premier League and English Football League. It's often seen as a chance for bigger clubs to rotate their squads and give younger players experience, while lower league teams dream of a giant-killing act and a trip to Wembley for the final.
