Carabao Cup Quarter-Final Draw: What You Need to Know

Fleetwood Town have become the big story of this year's Carabao Cup. The fourth-tier club beat Premier League champions Arsenal on penalty kicks, winning the shootout 5-3 after a 1-1 draw. It is one of the biggest shocks the competition has ever seen. Fleetwood are now the lowest-ranked team left in the tournament.

The quarter-final draw will take place after Liverpool play Chelsea on Wednesday, October 28. The match kicks off at 8pm BST, so the draw is expected sometime after 10pm. It will be shown live on Sky Sports, hosted by Dave Jones. Former players Conor Coady and Graeme Le Saux will conduct the draw.

Manchester City, who won the cup last year, are still in the running. They face a tough test against Brighton, who have been one of the best teams in England this season. Other matches this week include Bournemouth vs Aston Villa, Fulham vs Crystal Palace, Sunderland vs Brentford, and Everton vs Newcastle on Thursday. All of these results will decide who gets a ball number in the quarter-final draw.

Bradford City also made progress by beating Peterborough United 2-0 on Tuesday. That result means both Bradford and Fleetwood — two lower-league clubs — are in the quarter-finals. There is even a chance the two teams could be drawn against each other. The winner of that tie would go on to the semi-finals.

Each remaining team has been given a ball number from 1 to 8 for the draw. Fleetwood Town hold ball number 4, while big clubs like Liverpool or Chelsea are number 6, and Manchester City or Brighton are number 7. The quarter-final games will all be played during the week beginning December 14. Football fans everywhere will be watching closely to see if Fleetwood can keep their amazing cup run going.
