Southampton vs Stoke City
Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday
Here we go...
Right then, the draw is ready to go.
Jamie Redknapp is about to to his Rod Stewart impression...
What ties would you like to see?
I think there could be some mouth-watering ties coming our way...
There are 13 Premier League sides in this fourth round draw with all the big-hitters still in the competition.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when the smaller teams get further in the competition, It's great seeing them face the big boys.
But I must admit, if we get a Manchester Derby in the fourth round, that would be incredible viewing.
What fixture are you hoping to see?
When will the ties take place?
This is a question that is frequently asked when these draws come about.
So, I thought I'd be kind to you all and let you know when the fourth round will be taking place.
I mean, it's not really being kind, it's me doing my job!
Anyway, enough rambling. The ties will take place the week commencing 28 October.
I could have started with that, but that would have been no fun.
Jota: 'West Ham made it hard'
Diogo Jota, Liverpool goalscorer, speaking to Sky Sports:
The result said [it was comfortable] but the game was completely different. I think they made it hard for us, it was a good game in general and we're just happy to go through.
It's important when you're down to get that [equaliser] as quick as possible and to score at Anfield, it's always special so happy to help the team.
Draw at 22:20 BST
Right then, now it's time to focus on the draw.
I believe that it is set to take place at 22:20, but in truth, you just never know with these things, do you?
What we do know is that Liverpool and Arsenal are both in the hat, could they draw each other?
Now that would be a huge game.
Holders thrash Hammers
It's happened again...
West Ham probably thought tonight could not get much worse than their 5-1 loss in the League Cup at Anfield last season.
Well, it has.
Arne Slot's Liverpool have done exactly what Jurgen Klopp's did last season and fired five past them.
The Reds went behind, but braces from Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo, as well as a goal off the bench from Mo Salah, made it's a job well done for the Merseyside club.
To make matters worse for the Hammers, Edson Alvarez was sent off at 3-1. So he will be suspended for the weekend.
The round so far...
As always, the Carabao Cup has been hectic this season. I mean, it's what we all love to see, isn't it?
I just want to quickly touch on some of my highlights from the third round over the past couple of weeks.
I have to start with the crazy penalty shootout at Preston last week. That was truly bonkers.
After a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Deepdale, the Championship side edged out the Cottagers 16-15 in the longest penalty shootout in League Cup history.
The two teams took a total of 34 spot kicks. Yes, you read that right.
There was also drama in the West Midlands when Coventry looked set to knock out Tottenham at the CBS Arena.
But two late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson spared Spurs' blushes. It would have been the shock of the round.
Other than that, it was just a goal-fest up and down the country, and I love it when the ball hits the back of the net with frequency.
I mean, doesn't everybody?
Arsenal through
You can add Arsenal to that list now.
They have beaten League One Bolton with ease and there was one certain youngster who has really made a name for himself.
That player is Ethan Nwaneri...
The 17-year-old netted a brace on his first-ever start from the Gunners, while Declan Rice, Raheem Sterling, and Kai Havertz also found the net.
Bolton did get one through Aaron Collins, but they were outclassed by the Gunners, which was to be expected.
Arsenal go marching on.
Who is in the hat?
So, we already know 13 teams are in the draw this evening, with Liverpool and Arsenal looking likely to join them.
There are no clubs outside of the top two tiers of English football left in the cup, as the competition really hots up.
So, here is who is in the hat, as it stands, and what their numbers are:
1) Aston Villa
2) Brentford
3) Brighton
4) Chelsea
5) Crystal Palace
6) Leicester
7) Manchester City
8) Manchester United
9) Preston
10) Sheffield Wednesday
11) Southampton
12) Stoke City
13) Tottenham
14) Arsenal or Bolton
15) Liverpool or West Ham
16) Wimbledon or Newcastle
3,2,1... Draw!
Are we all feeling like Rod Stewart?
By that, I am referring to the time the Scottish singer went all in when delivering the Scottish Cup draw many years ago.
He loved it, and I feel exactly the same way.
When the clock hit's 10pm, we will know 15 of the 16 teams that will contest the fourth round of the League Cup.
So, you know what that means? We need to draw them against each other, don't we?
If you are keen to know which teams will be facing off, then look know further, we will bring you all the ties drawn.
Before that, though, let's tuck into a bit of build-up, shall we?
