There will finally be a new Carabao Cup winner crowned after Manchester City’s four-year reign of dominance was brought to an end this season in a fourth-round penalty shootout defeat against West Ham.
Arsenal are already through to the semi-finals, after Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 thrashing of Sunderland on Tuesday night, meaning only Premier League sides remain in the competition.
The other three quarter-finals will all be played on Wednesday evening, two of which are London derbies. Brentford, who confirmed they had 13 players and staff test positive for Covid-19 last week, host Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel’s side are dealing with several absences of their own, too.
Tottenham take on West Ham in what is sure to be a fiery tie while Jurgen Klopp is likely to heavily rotate his side when they take on Leicester at Anfield, with the Foxes also hit by a major Covid outbreak.
