Carabao Cup quarter-final draw: Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal & Tottenham learn last eight opponents
As the 2024/25 Carabao Cup heads into the quarter-final, eight teams remain in contention for the season’s first major trophy in England. With Wembley Stadium just a few games away, excitement is building as teams battle to secure their spot in the semi-finals.
The standout result of the Round of 16 was Tottenham Hotspur’s victory over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. This significant win at White Hart Lane keeps Ange Postecoglou’s record of winning a trophy in his second season within reach.
Other major outcomes included Newcastle United’s victory over Chelsea at St. James’ Park, Liverpool’s away win against Brentford under Arne Slot, and Manchester United’s impressive 5-2 triumph over Leicester City in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first game as interim manager after Erik ten Hag’s departure.
The quarterfinal draw has set up thrilling encounters. Tottenham will host Manchester United, who are coming off a strong performance.
Arsenal, fresh from their comfortable win over Preston North End, will face Crystal Palace in a North vs. South London derby at the Emirates. Newcastle, after eliminating Chelsea, will now play Brentford, and Liverpool heads to the south coast once again, this time to face Southampton.
Each team now edges closer to Wembley and the opportunity to claim the first silverware of the English season.
