Carabao Cup Fourth Round Draw Unveiled: When and Where the Magic Happens
The Carabao Cup fourth round draw is scheduled to occur after Arsenal's match against Port Vale comes to an end.
Arsenal will face the League One side in what stands out as the most notable fixture among Wednesday's contests, while Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also aiming to advance to the following stage with victories against Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City respectively.
Liverpool booked their fourth round berth with a triumph over Southampton on Tuesday. Alexander Isak netted his inaugural goal for the team following his British record £125 million ($168.5 million) move from Newcastle United, before Hugo Ekitiké found the decisive strike in the closing stages—though the French player was promptly dismissed for taking off his jersey during his celebration.
Chelsea have also earned their spot in the draw after overturning a one-goal deficit to defeat Lincoln City, thanks to strikes from Tyrique George and loanee Facundo Buonanotte.
