Carabao Cup draw: Man City to face Tottenham as Liverpool meet Brighton

Tottenham Hotspur will host Premier League rivals Manchester City in a repeat of the 2020/21 Carabao Cup final in this season’s fourth round.

Pep Guardiola’s side secured a 1-0 win at Wembley – courtesy of an Aymeric Laporte header – in that clash and will be hoping to replicate this in the heavyweight meeting next month.

There are just four non-Premier League teams remaining in the competition, with Stoke City, Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday, and possibly AFC Wimbledon representing the lower tiers of English football.

The winner of the Wimbledon and Newcastle game, which was rescheduled to October 1 after severe flooding damaged the pitch at Plough Lane saw the game postponed on Tuesday, will host Chelsea, while Preston face the daunting task of Arsenal at Deepdale.

Manchester United face another showdown from the top flight, as they welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford.

Elsewhere, Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa both have challenging ties ahead, as they come up against Liverpool and Crystal Palace, respectively.
