With the current champions, Manchester United, being eliminated in the previous round there will be a new winner of the Carabao Cup in 2024.

Of the teams remaining in the competition, Liverpool - who won the trophy in 2022 - are the favourites to lift the league cup though they must first get past a strong West Ham United side on Wednesday night.

Last year’s runners-up, Newcastle United, are still in contention too having defeated United in the third round. They travel to London to face Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea tonight.
