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)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:EFL Cup.svg

File:EFL Cup.svg is being used on this article. 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 Wikipedia: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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
