Chelsea will learn their Carabao Cup quarter-final opponents should they progress past Newcastle United.

After beating Eddie Howe's side 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea head to the north east four days later in hope of beating them once again and booking their place in December's last-eight.

Chelsea reached last season's final, however they suffered Wembley heartbreak once again after losing to Liverpool.

Enzo Maresca's side convincingly knocked out Barrow in the third round, courtesy of a hat-trick from forward Christopher Nkunku, which set up a fourth round tie against Newcastle.

Should they beat Newcastle, they will be in Wednesday's draw and just two more round wins (semi-finals are two-legged) away from the final on March 16th 2025.

As provided by the EFL, here are all of the details ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final draw.
