A couple of Everton away days in December have been moved with the Blues facing another Carabao Cup clash on a Thursday night which in turn has caused their subsequent Premier League fixture to be rescheduled.
With the draw being made before their fourth round tie, David Moyes’ men and Newcastle United, who lifted the trophy in 2025 to end their 70-year domestic silverware drought, knew that the winners would travel to Fleetwood Town who had stunned reigning Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties two nights earlier.
Everton’s 3-1 victory, courtesy of goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry teed up a trip to the Fylde coast.
The Blues, who have never won the League Cup in any of its guises, now have just a League Two opponent between them and a first semi-final appearance since 2015/16. The clubs have previously met in the competition on two previous occasions, triumphing 5-2 on September 20, 2020, and 1-0 on August 23, 2022, but their latest meeting has now been confirmed for Thursday, December 17 (8pm) to be shown live on Sky Sports and ITV.
As a result of Everton’s game with the Cod Army being moved into that slot, their Premier League fixture away to Nottingham Forest has been moved to Sunday, December 20 (2pm) and the match against Oliver Glasner’s side at the City Ground will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports +.
