Premier League leaders Arsenal will take on FA Cup holders Crystal Palace in one of the standout ties of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The clash at the Emirates promises fireworks, with both sides chasing silverware before Christmas.
Elsewhere, League One side Cardiff City – the only non-Premier League club left in the competition – will host Chelsea in what could be a fairytale night for the Welsh side.
Defending champions Newcastle United will welcome Fulham to St James’ Park, while Manchester City, eight-time winners of the competition, will face Brentford at the Etihad.
The quarter-final fixtures are scheduled for the week of December 15.
Notably, four of the remaining sides – Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace – have never lifted the League Cup, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the tournament.
Liverpool, the record 10-time winners, were dumped out in the previous round after a 3-0 defeat to Palace at Anfield.
