Carabao Cup quarter-final draw: Start time, ball numbers and how to watch on TV

The draw for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals takes place tonight.

The fourth round has served up a number of all- Premier League ties, meaning we are guaranteed to see top-flight sides fall as the pack whittles down to eight.

Struggling Liverpool play host to bogey side Crystal Palace at Anfield, while holders Newcastle face the toughest test of their title defence so far as Thomas Frank’s Tottenham come to town.

The fairytale run of Grimsby, however, has been ended emphatically by Brentford , but League One Cardiff will be in the hat for the draw after knocking out old foes Wrexham in an all-Welsh tie.

The draw will take place on Wednesday October 29 following the conclusion of the fourth-round tie between Newcastle and Tottenham.

It is expected to start around 10.30pm GMT , although could be delayed if the game ends in a draw after 90 minutes goes to penalties.
