Holders Chelsea will visit Stoke City while Arsenal and Manchester United drew Championship opposition in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup. The draw for the competition’s round of 16 took place late Wednesday night, with Premier League-leading Manchester City given one of the round’s tougher matchups with a visit from Crystal Palace.
Arsenal, coming off their Wednesday victory over rival Tottenham, were handed a visit to second-tier Sheffield Wednesday, while Manchester United were rewarded for a convincing win over Ipswich Town with a matchup against Championship club Middlesbrough.
Leicester City, the only remaining undefeated team in the Premier League, also drew Championship opposition with a trip to Hull City.
In addition to Chelsea and Manchester City’s ties, the draw features potentially three all-Premier League matchups: Aston Villa’s visit to Southampton; Everton hosting Norwich City; and Liverpool welcoming Bournemouth to Anfield, should they advance past Carlisle United. Liverpool and Carlisle were in extra time of their third round tie at the time of the draw.
The fourth round will take place the week of Oct. 26 and will be broadcast in the US on beIN Sports.
