The League Cup fourth round draw has produced two exciting ties, with Liverpool set to host Arsenal and Chelsea facing Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool, who have won the competition a record eight times, beat Milton Keynes Dons 2-0 to reach the fourth round, while Arsenal thrashed Nottingham Forest 5-0.

Manchester United, who last won the League Cup in 2017, needed a 5-3 penalty shoot-out victory over third-tier Rochdale to advance after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Chelsea, on the other hand, hammered Grimsby 7-1 in their third-round match.

Other notable ties include Southampton's trip to holders Manchester City, as well as all-Premier League clashes between Everton and Watford and Aston Villa and Wolves.

The two lowest-ranked sides left in the competition, fourth-tier pair Crawley and Colchester, were drawn together.

Leicester will travel to Burton, while Oxford will host Sunderland in an all-League One clash.

The fourth round ties are set to be played in the week beginning October 28.
