如果發問者唔介意我copy的話,容許我copy一段維基百科英文版,關於英格蘭聯賽杯賽制:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_League_Cup#Format
Second round
All clubs playing in the FA Premier League, unless they are competing in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup (or took part in the UEFA Intertoto Cup), as well as any clubs that may have been given a bye to this round, enter at this stage and join the First Round winners.
The ties are single matches, with extra time and a penalty shootout if necessary, with the winners progressing to the next round.
Third round
All clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup enter at this stage and join the Second Round winners (making for a total of thirty-two clubs).
The ties are single matches, with extra time and a penalty shootout if necessary, with the winners progressing to the next round.
第一段紅色字一欄,註明左第二round聯賽盃係所有英超球會都要踢,但如果該球會因為同歐聯,歐協,或圖圖盃的賽程出現撞期的話,就可以skip左,由第三輪開始踢。
第二段藍色字一欄,註明左第三round係給予所有第二圈出線隊伍,以及在第二圈出現撞期的英超球隊參與。
所以,香港時間八月二十九日凌晨只有米杜士堡,紐卡素同曼城有踢第二圈,而曼聯,阿仙奴等會skip左,因為香港時間八月三十日凌晨同時正在上演歐聯第一圈分組賽。
雖然八月二十九日同八月三十日足足差左一日,但基於人道理由,冇可能要求有份踢歐聯的球會先係八月二十九日踢聯賽,再係二十四小時後再踢歐聯。
所以正確答案,唔係因為有份踢歐洲賽就可以skip左,而係要出現撞期情況先會skip。

保羅兄:其實英文維基百科的內容,遠比中文維基詳盡和全面得多,好多時中文版沒有說明的事 / 條例,英文版會詳盡說明。
