THERE WILL BE either a League One club or a Championship club in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after third-tier Port Vale were drawn to face second-tier Middlesbrough at the last-eight stage.
The other three quarter-finals will be all-Premier League affairs.
Newcastle’s reward for eliminating both treble winners Manchester City and last season’s League Cup champions Manchester United is a trip to Stamford Bridge, where they’ll face Chelsea.
Liverpool will host West Ham, who eliminated Arsenal at the last-16 stage on Wednesday night.
And there remains potential for a Merseyside derby semi, with Everton hosting Fulham in the next round.
Carabao Cup quarter-final draw (ties to be played the week beginning 18 December)
- Everton v Fulham
- Chelsea v Newcastle
- Port Vale v Middlesbrough
- Liverpool v West Ham
