Two Carabao Cup<\/a> clashes are under threat of chaos with major delays threatening fans\u2019 journeys to Wednesday\u2019s games. Five games are scheduled to take place on the night, with a host of Premier League<\/a> sides in action.<\/p>\n

Manchester City<\/a> travel to Swansea, while Arsenal<\/a> welcome Premier League rivals Brighton<\/a> to the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool<\/a> host Crystal Palace<\/a> and Wolves<\/a> welcome Chelsea<\/a> to Molineux, with the final game seeing Newcastle<\/a> take on Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

The majority of those games are expected to take place without a hitch but some are set to be impacted by major delays on the roads and rail network. Brighton fans have already been told to find an alternative route to North London after a person had been hit by a train between the Haywards Heath and Three Bridges stations.<\/p>\n

A statement from Southern Railway added: \u201cWe\u2019re very sorry to advise that a person has been hit by a train between Haywards Heath and Three Bridges. All lines are currently blocked.<\/p>\n
