The Carabao Cup fourth-round draw has delivered some compelling fixtures, with Liverpool set to welcome Chelsea to Anfield in a highly anticipated match. This tie is seen as a significant opportunity for both teams, with Chelsea now managed by former Reds player Xabi Alonso.
Premier League champions Arsenal will travel to Fleetwood Town, the lowest-ranked side remaining in the competition. Fleetwood secured their spot in the fourth round after a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United, courtesy of an own goal from Rhys Norrington-Davies.
Another all-Premier League encounter will see Everton take on Newcastle, following Everton's 1-0 win against Wolves. Elsewhere, Fulham will battle London rivals Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth will host Aston Villa. Sunderland will face Brentford, and a League One side is guaranteed a quarter-final spot as Bradford City and Peterborough United drew each other.
Brighton could potentially face Manchester City if they defeat Norwich in their outstanding third-round fixture on Thursday evening. All fourth-round ties are scheduled to take place during the week commencing 26 October.
