Fleetwood to face Everton in EFL Cup quarters
League Two Fleetwood Town will face Everton at Highbury in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
Fleetwood Town, a League Two team, will now meet Everton in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup at Highbury. This is a historic achievement for Fleetwood as they are the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, having previously never progressed past the third round. Their recent victory over Arsenal on penalties on Tuesday secured their place in the last eight.
Everton's quarter-final tie was confirmed on Thursday following their 3-1 win over Newcastle in an all-Premier League match. The other non-Premier League side left in the competition is Bradford City, who will face Manchester City at Etihad Stadium after their penalty shootout victory over Brighton in the last 16. The remaining matches will all be between Premier League teams, with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth and Crystal Palace taking on Sunderland at Selhurst Park.
The quarter-final matches are scheduled to take place in the week commencing 14 December.
