Manchester City have been handed a blockbuster draw against last season’s winners Liverpool in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
City (four) and Liverpool (one) have won the last five editions of the competition, with Jurgen Klopp’s side seeing off Chelsea – who were beaten at the Etihad on Wednesday – in the final last season.
The two sides met in the final in 2016, when Manuel Pellegrini’s Man City beat Liverpool on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley.
