Liverpool and Chelsea are no strangers to meeting in this competition, with the two clubs having contested the Carabao Cup Final in both 2022 and 2024.

Tottenham pulled one back through Conor Gallagher, but Dominik Szoboszlai’s stoppage-time strike completed a 3-1 victory.

Chelsea’s route into round four could hardly have been more dramatic.

Xabi Alonso’s side found themselves 2-0 down against Leeds at Stamford Bridge before turning the tie around emphatically after half-time. Cole Palmer scored twice in quick succession to level the contest before Pedro Neto put Chelsea ahead.

Danny Welbeck then struck twice, with Valentin Barco also getting on the scoresheet, as Chelsea eventually secured an extraordinary 6-3 victory.
