Carabao Cup Quarter-Final Draw: Date, Time, Teams, and Viewing Details
The Carabao Cup continues to deliver surprises this season. Fleetwood Town, a fourth-tier club, has captured attention by eliminating Premier League champions Arsenal in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw at Highbury. This upset ranks among the biggest shocks in the competition’s history and sets up an exciting quarter-final lineup.
Top teams remain in contention, with Liverpool and Chelsea's heavyweight clash leading the remaining fourth-round fixtures scheduled for this week. Meanwhile, reigning champions Manchester City face a challenging match against a strong Brighton side as the tournament edges closer to its final stages.
Fleetwood might meet Bradford City in the semi-finals if both continue their winning streaks; Bradford advanced by defeating Peterborough United recently.

The draw will take place right after the Liverpool vs Chelsea match ends. That game starts at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 28 October, so expect the draw shortly after 10pm BST that evening.
