Arsenal face a mouthwatering clash with Manchester City in the Carling Cup quarter-finals, while Chelsea take on Liverpool. The Gunners will host the Barclays Premier League leaders at the Emirates for a place in the semi-finals. Elsewhere, Manchester United host Championship side Crystal Palace, while the only other team from outside the top-flight - Cardiff - at home to Blackburn.
Arsenal booked their place in the last eight on Tuesday when they cam from behind to beat Bolton 2-1. They were joined by City 24 hours when they battered Wolves 5-2 at Molineux. In the other all-Premier League duel, Chelsea will hope to use home advantage to progress past Liverpool.If United progress, it means they will have reached the semi-finals without having to play a top-flight side.
Palace have been flying high in the Championship and they will hope to cause a major upset by knocking Sir Alex Ferguson's side out at Old Trafford. Cardiff will aim to heap more misery on the Premier League's bottom side Blackburn when they meet in Wales. The ties are to be played the week beginning November 28. (Dailymail)
