West Ham and Newcastle were both handed difficult Carabao Cup quarter-final draws after securing memorable results on Wednesday night - with the Hammers heading to Anfield to play Liverpool and the Magpies faced with a trip to Chelsea.
Everton will host Fulham at Goodison Park and League One side Port Vale will welcome Championship outfit Middlesbrough in the quarter-finals, meaning there will be a non-Premier League team in the final four. The eight quarter-final ties will be played during the week commencing Monday 18 December.
Newcastle secured their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford - but after defeating Manchester City in the third round, Eddie Howe’s side face another tricky test as they go to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.
West Ham’s reward for thrashing Arsenal 3-1 on Declan Rice’s return to the London Stadium is a tough tie against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield. The Reds, fourth in the Premier League, are the highest-placed side left in the competition and advanced thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win at Bournemouth, with Darwin Nunez coming off the bench to send the nine-time winners into the next round.

So here’s the draw in full:
Everton v Fulham
Chelsea vs Newcastle
Port Vale vs Middlesbrough
Liverpool vs West Ham
Carabao Cup quarter-final draw
Another tough draw for Newcastle who have already got past Manchester City and Manchester United to reach this stage of the competition. Given their current form, they will fancy their chances, though.
Fulham got a 1-0 win at Goodison Park earlier in the season and will be hoping for a repeat performance in the quarter-finals.
West Ham delivered a superb performance to win for the first time against Arsenal since 2019. They are winless in their last four games against Jurgen Klopp’s side so will need another inspired performance.
And what a chance for Championship Middlesbrough and League One Port Vale. We’re guaranteed to have a non-Premier League team in the final four which will be some feat for the victorious side.
A reminder that those games will be played week commencing the 18th of December.
