Liverpool will face Chelsea at Anfield in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. This match marks a significant return for Chelsea's manager Xabi Alonso, who previously enjoyed success with Liverpool as a player. Chelsea advanced to this stage after defeating Leeds United, while Liverpool progressed by overcoming Tottenham in their last match.
Arsenal, the reigning Premier League champions, will travel to Fleetwood Town, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the tournament. Fleetwood earned their place in the fourth round by upsetting Championship side Sheffield United in a previous round. This match presents a challenging opportunity for Arsenal against a spirited League Two side.
The draw features five all-Premier League matchups, with a potential sixth if Manchester City secures victory against Norwich. Should City win, they will host Brighton, who recently pulled off a dramatic comeback against Manchester United. This adds an exciting dynamic to the competition as top-flight teams clash in the knockout stages.
Other notable fixtures include Everton hosting Newcastle, Brentford travelling to Sunderland, Fulham facing Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage, and Bournemouth welcoming Aston Villa. Additionally, Bradford will host Peterborough, ensuring at least one League One team progresses to the quarter-finals. The fourth round is set to take place in the week commencing October 26.
