Premier League champions Arsenal have been handed an away trip to League Two side Fleetwood Town in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
Fleetwood, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, secured their place in the last 16 for the first time in their history after a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United on Wednesday night.
Their reward is a home clash against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who booked their place in the fourth round with a 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town on Tuesday.
Holders Manchester City will face Brighton at the Etihad Stadium if they overcome Norwich City in Thursday’s outstanding third-round fixture.
There will also be a heavyweight Premier League meeting between Liverpool and Chelsea, with the Blues travelling to Anfield.
Chelsea, managed by former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, will return to his old club for the fourth-round tie.
Elsewhere, League One clubs Bradford City and Peterborough United will meet after eliminating Leyton Orient and Barnsley respectively.
The remaining fixtures are all Premier League affairs.
Fulham will host Crystal Palace, while Bournemouth welcome Aston Villa. Sunderland will face Brentford at home, with Everton entertaining Newcastle United.
The fourth-round ties are scheduled to be played during the week commencing October 26.
