The race for Wembley glory in the Carabao Cup has entered another exciting phase, with the draw for the fourth round now completed.
Top Premier League clubs, including defending champions Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, were all in action in the third round this week as the competition heated up.
The highlight of the round was Alexander Isak finding the net for the first time in a Liverpool jersey.
In what has become the fairytale of this season’s tournament, League Two side Grimsby Town extended its remarkable run. Fresh from their dramatic elimination of Manchester United in the second round via a penalty shootout, they edged Sheffield Wednesday to secure a place in the last 16.
Some Premier League outfits, however, bowed out earlier than expected. Everton, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and Burnley all suffered exits in the third round, leaving the field wide open for both underdogs and heavyweights.
The draw has now thrown up some intriguing fixtures, with Newcastle United set to face Tottenham Hotspur, while Liverpool will battle Crystal Palace. Arsenal will square up against Brighton, and Manchester City head to Wales to meet Swansea City.
