Manchester City drew Liverpool in the Carabao Cup draw fourth-round in the headline fixture of December’s games.
Just a day after teams return from the World Cup, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp will go head-to-head once more at the Etihad Stadium.
Last season’s winners of course, Liverpool will look to defend their crown against the team who have dominated the competition in recent years.
Elsewhere, Manchester United will take on Vincent’s Kompany Burnley, while London’s only representative Charlton will entertain Brighton. Eddie Howe, meanwhile, will battle former club Bournemouth with in-form Newcastle.
