The draw for the last 16 of the Carabao Cup threw up some enticing clashes, including a repeat of last season’s final between Newcastle United and Manchester United, when it took place on Wednesday night immediately after the completion of the round’s fixtures.
There is a London derby between West Ham and Arsenal and all Premier League clashes between Everton and Burnley and Bournemouth and Liverpool.
