Record ten-times EFL Cup winners Liverpool remain in the hunt for yet another Wembley date. Andoni Iraola's side, only just, overcame Chelsea in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night. The tie finished 1-1, with both converting spot-kick within three minutes of one-another just before half time.
Well, no fewer than 16 spot-kicks were then taken in the subsequent shootout, with the hosts progressing after Wesley Fofana skied over Giorgi Mamardashvili's crossbar and into the Kop End. Shortly after, the draw for the last eight took place, so find out who will stand in Liverpool's way next.
Carabao Cup confirmed quarter-final draw
- Liverpool vs AFC Bournemouth
- Fleetwood Town vs Everton or Newcastle United
- Manchester City vs Bradford City
- Crystal Palace vs Sunderland
Liverpool have been drawn at home to Bournemouth. The Cherries demolished Aston Villa 3-0 elsewhere on Wednesday and, while it could have been easier, a reunion with his former club for Iraola is probably good news, especially at home.
When will Liverpool vs Bournemouth take place?
Liverpool's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Bournemouth will take place in-between Premier League fixtures against Leeds United on Saturday 12 December and Tottenham a week later on Saturday 19 December, both at Anfield.
Thus, the EFL Cup tie will take place on Wednesday 16 December, considering that Bournemouth are in action at Arsenal the Sunday before.
