After a night of thrilling matches, the final eight teams in the Carabao Cup have been confirmed, setting the stage for exciting clashes in December.

The Carabao Cup quarter-final draw has unveiled an intriguing lineup of matches, with all remaining teams hailing from the Premier League. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all secured their spots in the next round following impressive performances in the previous round.

Manchester United emerged as dominant winners over Leicester City, scoring five goals and showcasing their attacking prowess. The match saw interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy leading the team to victory, though speculation surrounds his future as the club prepares for the likely arrival of Ruben Amorim. United’s upcoming challenge will be a showdown against Tottenham Hotspur, who eliminated Manchester City in a thrilling late kick-off. Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr put Spurs ahead before Matheus Nunes’ late response proved insufficient for City.

Arsenal also made their mark, defeating Preston North End 3-0, thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri, and Kai Havertz. Their next fixture will see them host Crystal Palace in a London derby, a match that promises to be fiercely competitive.

Liverpool, the reigning champions, managed to edge past Brighton with a close 3-2 victory, keeping alive their hopes of retaining the trophy. They will travel to Southampton in the quarter-finals, seeking to extend their impressive cup run.

Newcastle United, fresh off their triumph over Chelsea, will take on Brentford at home, with manager Eddie Howe expressing satisfaction with the draw. “I want a home draw because this place is an amazing venue to play in,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live, highlighting the strong atmosphere at St James’ Park.

The quarter-final matches are set to take place in mid-December, with the two-legged semi-finals following in the new year. The final is scheduled for March 16 at Wembley Stadium, where teams will aim to lift the coveted trophy.

As the competition heats up, fans are eager to see how their teams will perform in the upcoming fixtures. The excitement surrounding the Carabao Cup continues to grow, especially with the high stakes and the prestige of competing against some of the top clubs in England.
