The draw has produced an absolute cracker, with two Premier League heavyweights facing off in the fourth round. Liverpool will host Chelsea at Anfield, making it one of the five Premier League clashes in the round. This match-up is undoubtedly the main event in the fourth round of the League Cup.
Arsenal has a significantly more favorable draw, visiting Fleetwood Town, which competes in League Two. Fleetwood caused a stir in the third round by knocking out Championship club Sheffield United at home. Brighton & Hove Albion may face a match against a top club, depending on Manchester City's result against Norwich City on Thursday. If Manchester City succeeds, they will face Brighton at home, following their previous round win over Manchester United.
The full draw for the fourth round is as follows: Fleetwood Town - Arsenal, Manchester City/Norwich City - Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton - Newcastle United, Sunderland - Brentford, Liverpool - Chelsea, Bradford City - Peterborough United, Fulham - Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth - Aston Villa.
