Liverpool will face Premier League champions Manchester City in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
Sharjah 24 – Asaad Khalil:
The English League Cup fourth round draw resulted in the toughest confrontation for reigning champions Liverpool against Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool have suffered at home this season as they needed penalties to beat second division Derby County last Wednesday after a goalless draw at Anfield.
Manchester City, who have won four of their last five titles, had to work hard to beat Chelsea in the third round.
City’s only defeat in all competitions this season was against Liverpool, where Egypt’s Mohamed Salah goal towards the end gave Liverpool a 1-0 league win last month.
Manchester United, who came in a comeback twice by beating Aston Villa 4-2 at Old Trafford, hosted second division Burnley in the fourth round.
There is another pure confrontation between two Premier League teams, which will bring Newcastle United and Bournemouth together.
The matches will be played in the week of December 19th, immediately after the World Cup final.
