The anticipation surrounding the Carabao Cup continues to build as the fixtures for the fourth round have been announced. Among the highlights of this round is a highly anticipated match between Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea, which will take place at Anfield. This clash is particularly notable as it features Chelsea's manager, Xabi Alonso, who is a former Liverpool midfielder, returning to his old stomping grounds.
In another intriguing match-up, Arsenal, the reigning Premier League champions, will travel to Fleetwood Town, the lowest-ranked team still in the tournament. Fleetwood Town has made history by reaching the last 16 for the first time after a narrow 1-0 victory over Sheffield United. Their reward is a high-stakes encounter against an Arsenal side that secured their spot in the fourth round with a convincing 4-2 win over Ipswich Town.
The fourth round will also see holders Manchester City potentially facing Brighton at the Etihad Stadium, contingent upon their performance in an outstanding third-round fixture against Norwich City. Other matches include Everton hosting Newcastle United and Sunderland welcoming Brentford. The full list of fixtures promises an exciting mix of Premier League teams and lower division sides, ensuring plenty of thrilling football action for fans.
“The draw reveals some exciting matchups, particularly the Liverpool vs Chelsea game, which is bound to attract significant attention,” remarked a football analyst.
All fixtures are set to kick off during the week commencing October 26, as teams vie for a place in the quarter-finals of this prestigious tournament.
