The draw for the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup has been completed with Liverpool taking on Bournemouth. While Arsenal's slayers Fleetwood Town face Everton or Newcastle.
Midweek action began on Tuesday as Arsenal were humiliatingly knocked out by 18th-place League Two side Fleetwood Town on penalties. Mikel Arteta's Premier League champions were 1-0 down at half-time, but despite Viktor Gyokeres' equaliser five minutes into the second half, were unable to win the game, which was made harder by Max Dowman's red card.
Bruno Guimaraes missed the all-important spot kick for the visitors as Conor Haughey stepped up to smash in the winning spot kick as the side 84 places lower in the English football pyramid caused one of the biggest shocks in modern football history.
