Carabao Cup team of the round: Mesut Ozil shines in defeat, United pair star as Liverpool youngsters impress

Reigning Carabao Cup champions Manchester City kept alive their hopes of a third consecutive victory in the competition after beating Southampton on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola’s team were joined in the quarter-finals by Manchester United and Liverpool a day later, with all three of the heavyweights kept apart in the quarter-final draw.

Leicester, Everton and Aston Villa also reached the last eight, while outside of the Premier League sides, Oxford and Colchester United remain involved after the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Wolves and Sunderland crashed out.

Despite most teams putting out much-changed lineups for the fourth round fixtures, there was plenty of entertainment on show as well as promising youngsters to admire – and the odd fringe senior pushing their claim for game-time.

Below you can see our gallery of which players impressed sufficiently across the eight games to make our Team of the Round.
