Tottenham only managed to reach round four in 2023/24, while Liverpool fell in the quarters. It was Coventry who made a shock run through to the semis and so nearly pulled off a sensational upset, with a host of EFL clubs hoping to follow their lead this time around. It has been an eventful competition so far despite the controversial scrapping of replays, with two non-league sides making it to the third round after Dagenham & Redbridge and Tamworth stunned AFC Wimbledon and Burton Albion respectively.
