Carabao Cup Quarter-Final Draw: Liverpool Host Bournemouth, City Face Bradford

The Carabao Cup quarter-final draw has been made, pairing Liverpool with Bournemouth at Anfield and Manchester City with Bradford City in ties to be played in the week starting 14 December.

Crystal Palace will host Sunderland in the third tie, while Everton — the last team to book their place after beating Newcastle 3-1 — will travel to League Two Fleetwood Town, the giant-killers who knocked out Arsenal on penalties.

The draw was completed once the fourth round finished on Thursday night, with seven of the eight quarter-finalists already known and Everton completing the line-up.

The giant-killers reward

Fleetwood's run is the story of the competition so far. After beating Sheffield United and then Arsenal, the fourth-tier side get another home tie against Premier League opposition — and another chance to produce a cup shock.

Dates for the diary

Exact dates and kick-off times will be confirmed by the EFL once broadcast picks are made, but all four ties fall in the week beginning Monday 14 December, with the semi-finalists decided before Christmas.
