The draw for the quarter-finals of the 2024/25 EFL Cup took place on Wednesday evening, with teams now irresistibly close to reaching Wembley. 

Holders Liverpool are still going strong after overcoming a tough Brighton side 3-2 away from home, while Newcastle comfortably beat Chelsea 2-0 at home to keep their long-running trophy hunt alive.

Manchester United are also in the hat after they began the post-Erik ten Hag era with a 5-2 thrashing of Leicester under interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Arsenal beat Championship side Preston North End 3-0 away thanks largely to a stunning performance from 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri.

Tottenham are the last remaining member of the so-called 'big six' after beating eight-time winners Man City 2-1 at home, while Aston Villa were shocked at home by the same scoreline against Crystal Palace.
