Liverpool and Chelsea have learnt the date and time of their EFL Cup third-round tie.

The Premier League current top two will meet at Anfield on September 26, with kick-off schedule for 7.45pm BST.

The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event.

Liverpool have not beaten Chelsea at Anfield since 2012, a home run stretching back eight games. Across all competition, the Blues have lost just two of the most recent 14 encounters between the two clubs.

The game is the standout fixture from the third round, which also features Tottenham hosting Watford at Stadium MK, in Milton Keynes, due to ongoing delays over Spurs new stadium.

Everton host Southampton as Leicester City travel to Wolves in the other all-Premier League games.

Holders Manchester City begin the defence of the cup away at League One's Oxford United, while Manchester United face Derby County at Old Trafford.

Arsenal and Brentford meet at the Emirates Stadium as Millwall host Fulham in two London derbies.
