Carabao Cup draw LIVE as Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea hoping to be in the hat
It’s another night of Carabao Cup action with another six teams looking to make it through to the quarter-finals. After Middlesbrough and Port Vale yesterday secured their spots in tonight’s draw, there’s a whole host of Premier League sides in action this evening.
West Ham beat Arsenal 3-1 in the first of four enticing all-top-tier ties. The other three see Everton face Burnley, Liverpool travel to Bournemouth and in arguably the most exciting contest of the lot – holders Manchester United take on Newcastle at Old Trafford.
The Magpies are gunning for revenge in Manchester after they lost 2-0 at Wembley in the final against United back in February. That was Newcastle’s first major final since 1999 and they will be intent on a return to the national stadium this season.
Elsewhere, Chelsea face Championship playoff hopefuls Blackburn at home while high-flying Ipswich test themselves against Fulham. The draw will take place after United face Newcastle, which kicks off at 8.15pm and will conclude at roughly 10pm.
