League Two side Fleetwood Town have secured a historic place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. After previously never progressing beyond the third round, they reached the final eight by defeating Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties this Tuesday. They will host either Everton or Newcastle United at Highbury, with the decisive fourth-round match between those two clubs scheduled for Thursday.
Tournament holders Manchester City have been drawn to host League One club Bradford City at the Etihad Stadium. City advanced to this stage after a tense penalty shootout victory over Brighton. Bradford remains the only other non-Premier League team remaining in the competition. Holders Manchester City will host the only other non-Premier League side – League One Bradford City – at Etihad Stadium after they needed penalties to get past Brighton in the last 16.
The remaining quarter-final ties feature all-Premier League matchups. Liverpool, who reached this stage after eliminating Chelsea on penalties, will host Bournemouth. Elsewhere, Crystal Palace are set to face Sunderland at Selhurst Park.
All quarter-final fixtures are scheduled to take place during the week starting December 14.
