Carabao Cup quarter-final draw set for 28 October after Liverpool-Chelsea tie
The Carabao Cup quarter-final draw will follow Liverpool versus Chelsea on 28 October, with at least one League One side guaranteed a place among the last eight.
The Carabao Cup quarter-final draw will take place on Wednesday, 28 October, held after the fourth-round match between Liverpool and Chelsea concludes. The draw is scheduled to be shown live on Sky Sports.
>The eight quarter-finalists will play their ties in the week beginning Monday, 14 December. The EFL is expected to confirm the ball numbers before the draw, and they were not yet released when the source article was published.
>Six of the last-eight places are certain to go to Premier League clubs, while at least one will belong to a League One team. That guarantee comes from the fourth-round meeting between Bradford City and Peterborough United, both third-tier sides.
>The remaining fourth-round ties are heavily top-flight: six are all-Premier League matchups, including Manchester City against Brighton and Bournemouth against Aston Villa, Fulham against Crystal Palace, Sunderland against Brentford and Everton against Newcastle United. The exception is League Two club Fleetwood Town, who host defending Premier League champions Arsenal.
>The draw's lineup depends on those results, with the winners of each fourth-round tie – including Bradford City or Peterborough United, Fleetwood Town or Arsenal, and Liverpool or Chelsea – entering the hat. There were no reported fan reactions in the source article.
