It is the first meeting of the season between the two sides, both of whom appointed new Spanish head coaches over the summer. Andoni Iraola's Reds beat Tottenham 3-1 in the third round, while Xabi Alonso's Blues overcame League One Luton Town in the second round before beating Leeds 6-3 in a nine-goal thriller.
