The draw for the Carabao Cup fourth round took place at the culmination of the clash between Liverpool and West Ham at Anfield on Wednesday night - the last of the scheduled fixtures in the third round, which was spread over two midweeks.

However, one more game will need to be played out to complete the round, after AFC Wimbledon’s meeting with Newcastle was postponed after flooding and pitch damage.

Liverpool were last year’s winners - then under Jurgen Klopp - and the Reds hold the record for most League Cup wins, too, with ten. They will continue their attempts to retain the trophy with a fourth-round trip to Brighton, following the draw, while the pick of the ties was Tottenham being set to host Manchester City.

DISALLOWED GOAL! West Ham thought they were ahead!

Both defences manage to fend off half-chances from the opposition, before Bowen bursts forward down the wing and spreads it wide to Summerville.

The winger messes up his first touch but it bounces across to Danny Ings, who was waiting in the wings to bundle it past Kelleher, but the flag goes up for offside!

No VAR in the early rounds of this competition, so the decision stands.

The ball in is an inviting one, right into the gap between the defenders and Kelleher, but Todibo can only direct a header wide of the far post.

Moments later, Bowen has a go with an effort from range, but Kelleher makes a simple save.

Liverpool are certainly on top in the opening stages, though they haven’t been able to carve out a clear chance so far.

West Ham have a free-kick that they can deliver into the box, but the home side work well to clear it and pile instant pressure on Fabianski down the other end.

The ball comes to Summerville on the wing, and he does brilliantly to come inside and win another free-kick after being clipped by Endo.

Liverpool’s patient pressing pays off as Fabianski’s attempted ball forward is cut out by Endo.

Tsimikas whips in a first-time ball that is turned behind for a corner. He delivers the ball in, but it was too deep and it’s headed away.

Bradley tries the early cross to Chiesa, but it’s cut out. The home side are just letting the Hammers keep possession around the back four, waiting for the right time to apply pressure.

Dominant in possession early on from the home side. They seem to have settled already, with West Ham having barely seen any of the ball since the game began.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have gone 1-0 up against Bolton at the Emirates.

Liverpool win a corner straight away after good work from Bradley down the right.

Tsimikas delivers the ball in, and it takes a bounce off Quansah before Coufal turns it narrowly over his own goal.

The referee didnt’ spot it though, and the goal kick is given.
