The Carabao Cup quarterfinal draw is locked in for Wednesday, Oct. 28, but if you are trying to set your watch for it, good luck. This whole thing hinges on the Chelsea versus Liverpool clash, which kicks off at 4 p.m. ET, with the draw happening immediately after the final whistle. If that game wraps up in regulation time, we are looking at a draw around 6:15 p.m. ET. But if it goes to penalties, well, grab another snack because that draw is getting pushed back.
A Historic Upset Already Shakes the Competition
Talk about kicking off the week with a bang! We have already seen a monumental upset that absolutely nobody saw coming. League Two side Fleetwood Town pulled off a shocker on Tuesday, Oct. 27, beating Arsenal on penalties. Think about that for a second. This was not just any upset; it was the biggest in the competition’s entire history! These two clubs are separated by a staggering 84 places in the English football pyramid. That is the kind of underdog story that makes you stand up and cheer. If that is what the Round of 16 is bringing us, who even knows what is coming next?
More Matches to Finish the Round Before the Draw Hits
Wednesday is going to be packed, with five more matches taking place before the Round of 16 even officially wraps up. The final game to complete this round is an all-Premier League showdown between Everton and Newcastle, set for Thursday. So, there is still plenty of action on the pitch to decide who else makes it to the quarterfinal stage, adding even more anticipation to an already unpredictable draw. Keep your eyes peeled and your notifications on!
With so much already unfolding, and the quarterfinal draw set to drop after Chelsea-Liverpool, this Carabao Cup is proving to be a wild ride. Get ready to see who faces who next!
