Carabao Cup draw LIVE: Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham learn quarter-final opponents
Latest updates as the last-eight matches are revealed
The only EFL club left in the competition were able to avoid Chelsea and Liverpool but will face Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates in the week commencing December 20.
Elsewhere, Tottenham will host London rivals West Ham after they were the first teams drawn out by Jimmy Bullard, a runner-up in the League Cup with Wigan in 2006, and Leyton Orient fan and actor Daniel Mays on Soccer AM. Sunderland will travel to Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup after the draw was made on Saturday morning.
Liverpool were the penultimate team drawn out and they will entertain Leicester at Anfield, with the Reds looking to add to their eight overall wins in the competition - the joint-most along with Manchester City, who had won the tournament in each of the last four seasons but were knocked out by West Ham in the fourth round.
Another derby between two sides in the capital will see Brentford set to host Chelsea again. The two west London clubs faced off earlier in the month with Thomas Tuchel’s side clinching a narrow 1-0 win after a hard-fought contest at the Brentford Community Stadium.
