Manchester City will discover their Carabao Cup quarter-final opponents later this evening, provided they overcome Brighton & Hove Albion in their fourth-round tie at the Etihad Stadium.
City enter the match looking to recover from Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. A win would secure their place in the last eight for the seventh time in 10 years, with the draw for the next round scheduled roughly an hour after the final whistle.
Teams Already in the Hat
Two lower-league sides are guaranteed to feature in the quarter-final draw. Bradford City, competing in League One, progressed by beating Peterborough United 2-0 on Tuesday. Fleetwood Town also advanced after a 1-1 draw with Premier League champions Arsenal, winning the tie on penalties.
Several other fixtures will determine the remaining participants. The winners of Bournemouth or Aston Villa, Fulham or Crystal Palace, Sunderland or Brentford, Liverpool or Chelsea, and Everton or Newcastle will join the draw if they win their respective fourth-round ties.
Manchester United Eliminated
Manchester United will not be involved in the quarter-finals, having been eliminated by Brighton in the third round. The draw is set to take place after the conclusion of the evening's matches, with City's tie against Brighton among those determining the final lineup.
