Leicester City will take on Everton in the Quarter-Final of the Carabao Cup following Thursday morning’s draw.

- Leicester City paired with Everton in Carabao Cup Quarter-Final
- The Foxes beat Burton Albion on Tuesday night to reach the last eight
- Game to take place the week commencing 16 December 

The draw paired the Foxes with the Toffees, after Brendan Rodgers’ side beat Burton Albion 3-1 on Tuesday night thanks to goals from Kelechi Iheanacho, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison.

 

The game will take place the week commencing 16 December and will fall in between Premier League fixtures against Norwich City and Manchester City.

 

City have beaten Newcastle United, Luton Town and the Brewers so far on their way to the last eight of this year’s competition.

Ticket details for the game will be released on LCFC.com in due course.

Were does it state the games on the Wednesday 

Not confirmed but based on the fact Everton, Man Utd and Man City all play on Sunday 15th December, all games will be moved to Wednesday 18th December in the cup.

 

And due to Liverpool playing in Qatar that week, their game is still up for debate, but will likely be played in early Jan. The fixture congestion is causing chaos once again.

Yea coz 15% isn’t it

Actually, I think that only applies to the FA Cup. Apparently EFL rules state 2,000 is the minimum. However, Everton will want to maximise attendance potentially and give at least 3,000 if not more. We could receive as much as 5,500. All down to the two clubs "negotiating" with each other.

 

If we get 5,000 we will sell out I think. General sale.

 Ta for that - so we have one day extra rest but no free full days to train to prepare for Man City - we will travel back up on fri pm 

Thursday is a full day, no? We'll travel back to Leicester on Wednesday after the Everton game, have Thursday training and most of Friday. Travel up late Friday evening?

You sure??? Everton’s  record against Liverpool  is disgusting 😂

Did you see the two games they played against Liverpool in the PL last year? Everton were warriors, and only lost in Anfield because of the jammiest goal I've ever seen. In the Cup, where Liverpool will play 16 year olds at centreback, I think they'd have had a shot, especially at Goodison.

Got to laugh at all the conspiracy theorists on here!

No no - you have to realise that no team, other than Leicester, in the history of cup draws has ever had 4 consecutive away games, and that odds of 16/1 are utterly bonkers and almost mathematically impossible.

Obviously if they fixed every round it wouldn't be sustainable as it is too obvious. Think Alan Turing and Enigma - they had to be careful after breaking the code, they had effectively fixed the war but still couldn't fix every round as it would arouse suspicion.

 

That's how you get draws like the last round. There were plenty of lower league sides left and the odds were good enough to do it randomly. Clearly it backfired on this occasion. But that frees them up to do things like this morning. They've no doubt got an algorithm somewhere.

Four away draws in a row is not a fix, it’s just unlucky.

 

Luck has favoured us in the past, just not this time. It’s swings and roundabouts (unless of course you’re Sean Dyche, who seems to believe he is condemned to eternal misfortune)

 

But we haven’t done badly on our travels of late, have we?...

Week of Jan. 6, so after FA Cup weekend. Klopp will probably play his U18's!
