Carabao Cup draw: Date, time, ball numbers and how to watch as teams learn quarter-final fate

Fleetwood Town have become the story of the Carabao Cup as the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition knocked out Premier League champions Arsenal to reach the quarter-finals.

The fourth-tier side stunned Mikel Arteta’s team on penalties, following a 1-1 draw at Highbury, in one of the tournament’s biggest ever shocks to potentially book another blockbuster draw.

There are still plenty of big hitters in the mix, after all, with Liverpool’s heavyweight clash with Chelsea headlining the remainder of the fourth-round matches to be played this week.

Holders Manchester City remain top contenders but face a stern test against high-flying Brighton in another intriguing tie as we approach the business end of the tournament.

Fleetwood could yet face Bradford Town for a semi-final place, however, after the 2012 runners-up defeated Peterborough United to secure their progress on Tuesday.

Here’s everything you need to know about the quarter-final draw:
