Tottenham will play Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Spurs beat Premier League champions Manchester City 2-1 to reach the last eight and their reward was another home against opponents from Manchester.
United’s first game following the sacking of Erik ten Hag on Monday saw a 5-2 win over Leicester, with Ruud van Nistelrooy in interim charge. Spurs, who have not won a trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008, beat United 3-0 in the Premier League at Old Trafford at the end of September.
Holders Liverpool will return to the south coast after beating Brighton 3-2 on Wednesday. The 10-time winners will visit Southampton, while Newcastle’s reward for overcoming Chelsea was a home tie against Brentford.
Arsenal will entertain Crystal Palace – surprise fourth-round winners at Aston Villa – in an all-London tie. The quarter-final matches will be played in the week beginning Monday, December 15.

Tottenham answer biggest question of their season to fuel Carabao Cup dream
The roar of relief was everything. Tottenham could not afford to mess up this opportunity but Ange Postecoglou’s side held firm, knocking Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup to hand Pep Guardiola’s team their first defeat of the season. Tottenham’s ability to self-destruct ensured this was still a gripping cup tie, even as City chased the game in second gear. It was almost enough and although Bernardo Silva’s protests at full-time suggested City wanted to win this just as much as Spurs, the sight of Erling Haaland grinning on the bench, an unused substitute even as City trailed for over 90 minutes, told a different story.

Ruud van Nistelrooy happy to ‘help and serve’ Manchester United’s next manager
But while United have made Amorim their top target to take over and are willing to trigger his release clause with Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese has a 30-day release clause and United are in negotiations to bring the 39-year-old to Old Trafford sooner and to try and take his coaching staff of Daniel Fernandes and Adelio Candido as well.

Carabao Cup quarter-final draw
Not long now until the draw is made. In a pretty gloomy season for Southampton so far, Russell Martin would surely love a winnable tie – be that against a smaller side or one of the bigger teams with a particularly devilish December in terms of fixture congestion.
Chelsea’s defeat does mean that we have avoided a nightmare scenario that would have seen Enzo Maresca’s side scheduled for a Conference League and Carabao Cup tie in the same midweek.
