Fleetwood to face Everton or Newcastle in last eight

League Two Fleetwood Town will face Everton or Newcastle United at Highbury in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. Fleetwood Town had never gone past the third round before this season League Two side Fleetwood Town will face Everton or Newcastle United at Highbury in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. The lowest-ranked side left in the competition have already made history by reaching the last eight after they stunned Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties on Tuesday. They will have to wait to find out their next opponents, with Everton hosting Newcastle at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the final match of the fourth round on Thursday.
Holders Manchester City will host the only other non-Premier League side – League One Bradford City – at Etihad Stadium after they needed penalties to get past Brighton in the last 16. The other two fixtures will be all-Premier League affairs with Liverpool, who also required a penalty shootout to beat Chelsea, hosting Bournemouth and Crystal Palace taking on Sunderland at Selhurst Park. Quarter-final fixtures will take place in the week commencing 14 December.
