The Football League Cup 2008-09, known as the Carling Cup due to the competition's sponsorship by lager brand Carling, is the 49th Football League Cup, a knockout competition for England's top 92 football clubs. The winner will be entered into the third qualifying round of the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.

Tottenham Hotspur are the current holders, having beaten Chelsea in the previous season's final.

Third Round

Eight teams involved in European competition enter at this stage along with the winners from the Second Round. Since nine English teams qualified for European competition in 2008, it was initially unclear precisely which eight teams would automatically enter the third round. Either Aston Villa, who had entered into European competition via the UEFA Intertoto Cup, or Manchester City, who qualified for the UEFA Cup via the UEFA Fair Play ranking would enter in the Third Round with the other entering in the Second Round instead. On 29 July 2008, it was announced that Aston Villa would enter the 2008–09 Carling Cup at the Third Round stage after reaching the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.[4]

The draw for the Third Round was held on 30 August 2008,[5] and matches were played on Tuesday, 23 September and Wednesday, 24 September 2008, with the exception of the match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby County, which was played on 4 November.
