The Carabao Cup is back, with round two of this competition taking place during the midweek. A total of 24 games will be played on Tuesday through Wednesday, with only two of the Premier League's big six taking to the pitch.
Those teams are Chelsea and Tottenham, both of which finished outside the top seven last season, hence their participation this early in the League Cup. Spurs, in particular, will be in for an interesting tie as they will face fellow London side Fulham in an all-Premier-League showdown.
However, that is not the only fixture featuring two clubs from the English top flight. Here are the standout fixtures from the second round of the 2023-24 Carabao Cup campaign.
Carabao Cup second round – key games
Swansea City vs Bournemouth
Two clubs that are well known but are struggling in their respective leagues face off in this round. Swansea City, under the helm of Michael Duff, are yet to win a single game in the Championship and thus sit only four spots ahead of bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 16th in the Premier League and are also winless under new manager Andoni Iraola, drawing once and losing twice in their first three games of the campaign.
These two sides have met 63 times before, making this their 64th encounter. The Cherries lead the head-to-head race with 26 victories to the Swans' 23 wins. Both sides will want to win this fixture and bring an end to their poor start to the season.

Fulham vs Tottenham
All eyes will be on this clash as two Premier League clubs situated in London will face off. Fulham enter this clash on the back of their 2-2 draw away to Arsenal, which was an impressive result given that they were reduced to 10 men, while Tottenham recently beat Bournemouth 2-0 in a convincing away victory.
The North London side overcame the Cottagers both home and away last season under Antonio Conte and while Angelos Postecoglou has beaten Manchester United already, this cup game will see the Australian tactician rotate and thus tested in a new way. Do not miss this exciting clash.

Chelsea vs Wimbledon
Chelsea finally got their first win of the season over the weekend, beating newly-promoted Luton Town 3-0. However, their draw to Liverpool in the opening round and the 3-1 loss away to 10-man Chelsea remain fresh in everyone's mind. The Blues' 12th-placed finish last season sees them kick off their Carabao Cup win in round two and will have to overcome League Two side Wimbledon.
The visitors are currently unbeaten in League Two after five games, winning two while drawing the other three. Furthermore, Johnnie Jackson's side have conceded only two goals but will face a completely different test away at Stamford Bridge.
