Carabao Cup draw LIVE! Man United to host Charlton as Man City face Southampton in quarter-finals



The quarter-final lineup is set for the 2022/23 Carabao Cup. Manchester City booked their place in the last eight on Thursday night after outduelling fierce rivals Liverpool 3-2 in a thrilling affair at the Etihad Stadium, with their reward for that breathless victory coming with a trip to face familiar opponents Southampton at St Mary’s next month.

Charlton Athletic were the only non-Premier League club in the hat for the quarters and face a tough challenge against Manchester United at Old Trafford next after stunning top-flight Brighton on penalties after a goalless draw at The Valley on Wednesday evening.

Two teams currently occupying places in the Premier League’s relegation zone – Nottingham Forest and rock-bottom Wolves – will also meet at the City Ground for a place in the semi-finals of English football’s secondary domestic cup competition, with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle also hosting Leicester in a swift rematch of their next league encounter to come at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day.
