The league cup is entered by all the 92 professional clubs in 'England'. Prem teams not in Europe enter at the second round, third if in European competition.
The fa cup is entered by non league clubs and has 6 qualifying rounds before the professional teams enter. Premier league clubs enter at the third round
The Europa league is the second tier of European competition after the champions league. Teams are usually cup winners or top 6 finishers. Teams also get entered from the champions league these days by coming third in their group thus not making the next stage if the CL.

Premier League is the domestic league competition, 20 teams from England (& sometimes Wales). There are no playoffs, and the final finish is determined solely by play during the league season by matches between the teams. Top teams earn chances for European competitions and bottom teams face relegation to a lower league.
League and FA Cups are domestic competitions open to a larger pool of teams and run the course of the league season. It's a bit like a 10-month March Madness.
The Champions and Europa Leagues are open to teams that finish atop their domestic leagues (with other qualifying events) in the previous year, and these Leagues run concurrently with the PL (their format is more like the WC).
Teams that bow out of the Cups early may have only 40 or so matches during the year, but teams that have long runs in Europe and the domestic Cups can see 70 or more matches in the same time.

He's got a point mate...anything you want to know is on Wikipedia. Now if you want our opinion on the competitions, that is another story.
It is a bit confusing to the uninitiated like

It's easy to search something on Wiki/google which is not always accurate. I'd rather get feedback from the fans who understand it the most. Especially since I am a newbie when it comes to said subject. For example if someone asked me about the MLB playoff format I would explain it for them. Just how I'm wired.

Believe me, the explanation above will need to be studied so I can fully understand and not sound like a douche bag when discussed
