League Two side Fleetwood Town will face Everton at Highbury in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The lowest-ranked side left in the competition have already made history by reaching the last eight after they stunned Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties on Tuesday.

Everton confirmed their place in the quarter-finals on Thursday night, with a 3-1 win over Newcastle in an all-Premier League tie.

Holders Manchester City will host the only other non-Premier League side - League One Bradford City - at Etihad Stadium after they needed penalties to get past Brighton in the last 16.

The other two fixtures will be all-Premier League affairs with Liverpool, who also required a penalty shootout to beat Chelsea, hosting Bournemouth and Crystal Palace taking on Sunderland at Selhurst Park.

Quarter-final fixtures will take place in the week commencing 14 December.
