The draw for the fourth round of the Carabao Cup has been made, and arguably the biggest fixture in England over the last few years has been scheduled.
Manchester City will face Liverpool in the fourth round, while Manchester United will go ahead to face Burnley after defeating Aston Villa in the third round.
Carabao Cup Round 4 full draw
Here are all the fixtures that will be played in the fourth round of the Cup competition:
- Wolves vs Gillingham
- Southampton vs Lincoln City
- Blackburn Rovers vs Nottingham Forest
- Newcastle vs Bournemouth
- Manchester City vs Liverpool
- Manchester United vs Burnley
- MK Dons vs Leicester
- Charlton vs Brighton
City will have the advantage heading into the tie since they will be playing at home. On the other hand, Liverpool’s injury fixtures could make it even more difficult for the holders to advance.
Other teams from the lower divisions will get a chance to progress deep into the tournament this year, with one of the two giants set to go out in Round 4. Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have all been eliminated in the third round.
So, it is going to be a different kind of tournament than what usually turns out in the Carabao Cup, since the bigger teams have mostly been knocked out.
