Follow the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw LIVE
The draw for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup takes place tonight. Following the conclusion of the fourth-round ties, 16 teams will have become just eight as they learn who they will face off against in December to reach the two-legged semi-finals. Balls will be drawn following the conclusion of Newcastle vs Tottenham, which kicked off at 8pm GMT.
Three names are already in the hat. Brentford made easy work of Grimsby Town on Tuesday night, winning 5-0 on the road, before Fulham had to come from behind and then win a nervy penalty shootout at Wycombe to secure their spot. In the all-Welsh affair, Cardiff saw off a fightback from Wrexham to earn bragging rights.
On Wednesday, a bumper schedule sees several all-Premier League affairs as Arsenal host Brighton, Chelsea travel to Wolves, Liverpool and Crystal Palace face off for the third time this season and Tottenham visit holders Newcastle. Elsewhere, Manchester City are without the injured Erling Haaland for their trip to Swansea City. Follow live coverage below of the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2025-26 Carabao Cup!
