Andy Cole made a hilarious gaffe while conducting the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The former Manchester United striker was a pundit for Sky Sports’ coverage of his former club’s 3-0 defeat to Newcastle at Old Trafford in the fourth round alongside Izzy Christiansen and Shay Given.<\/p>\n
Following the game, Christiansen and Cole undertook the draw for the last eight with presenter Mark Chapman.<\/p>\n
However, as Cole pulled out one ball, he inspected with a bewildered look, before he held the ball to the camera and queried with Chapman over whether it was a number six or a number nine.<\/p>\n
He could be heard saying: ‘Is it this way?’, before Chapman hilariously replied: ‘It is that way.<\/p>\n

‘Mainly because hopefully there are only eight balls Andy. If there’s a nine in there we’re in big trouble.’<\/p>\n
Given there are only eight teams left in the competition, it explains why there would be no number nine to draw out and the trio all shared a laugh after Chapman pointed this out.<\/p>\n
The aforementioned number six Cole picked was Fulham’s number, with Marco Silva’s side being faced with a trip to Goodison Park to take on Everton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s challenging run in the Carabao Cup will continue after Eddie Howe’s side were drawn away to Chelsea\u00a0in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
Liverpool will host West Ham\u00a0at Anfield, after earning a 2-1 win over Bournemouth\u00a0in the fourth round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With only eight teams left, it explains why there would be no number nine for Cole to draw out<\/p>\n
West Ham were impressive 3-1 winners over Arsenal on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The draw also ensured one non-Premier League side will feature in the semi-finals of the competition with League One side Port Vale faced with a home game against Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n
Port Vale are featuring the last eight of the competition for the first time in their history.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough are in the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2018-19 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
