Everton are into the hat for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals... mainly due to scheduling. Having so far dumped out Preston North End and Wolverhampton Wanderers, David Moyes' team welcome Newcastle United to Hill Dickinson Stadium in the fourth round on Thursday.
Before that match kicks off on Merseyside, both sides will know what prize awaits them, so find out all the details ahead of the quarter-final draw.
When is the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw?
The EFL Cup quarter-final draw takes place at around 10:30pm (GMT) on Wednesday 28 October. This will be after the night's five League Cup fixtures have concluded.
How can I watch the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw?
Evertonians in the UK & Ireland can tune into the draw on Sky Sports Main Event or free-to-air on ITV1, after both have wrapped up coverage of Liverpool against Chelsea at Anfield.
Who is already through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals?
On a memorable Tuesday night in the EFL Cup, two lower-league outfits booked their spots in the last eight. Fleetwood Town of League Two pulled off one of the biggest shocks in the competition's 67 year history, ousting Arsenal after a penalty shootout at Highbury.
Simultaneously, in a match that captured slightly fewer global headlines, third-tier Bradford City beat Peterborough United 2-0 at Valley Parade.
Who else could reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals?
Fleetwood and Bradford will be the only non top division representatives in the quarter-finals. Five all-Premier League ties take place on Wednesday, before one more on Thursday at Bramley-Moore Dock.

The EFL Cup quarter-finals are scheduled for the week commencing 14 December. Either-side, Everton take on Brighton on Sunday 13th by the South Coast and then Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday 19th, so it could be a busy week.
Thus, if the Toffees do progress, their last eight tie is almost guaranteed to be on Wednesday, baring any outside factors.
