Fleetwood Town earned an unprecedented spot in the Carabao Cup fourth round by edging Sheffield United 1-0 on Wednesday, setting up a high-profile home match against reigning top-flight champions Arsenal. The Gunners booked their place in the draw after securing a 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town on Tuesday under Mikel Arteta.

Reigning champions Manchester City await Brighton at Etihad Stadium should they overcome Norwich on Thursday, while Xabi Alonso takes Chelsea to face former club Liverpool. League One competitors Bradford and Peterborough will clash following respective round-three triumphs over Leyton Orient and Barnsley.

The remaining fourth-round match-ups feature all-top-tier encounters: Fulham against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth hosting Aston Villa, Sunderland welcoming Brentford, and Everton meeting Newcastle United. Matches are scheduled across the week starting 26 October.
