The draw for the Carabao Cup fourth round is set to take place at the culmination of the clash between Liverpool and West Ham at Anfield on Wednesday night – the last of the scheduled fixtures in the third round, which has been spread over two midweeks.
However, one more game will need to be played out to complete the round, after AFC Wimbledon’s meeting with Newcastle was postponed after flooding and pitch damage.
All of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are into the fourth round safely, while Arsenal face Bolton on Wednesday evening too, looking to book their own spot in the next stage of the competition. Liverpool were last year’s winners – then under Jurgen Klopp – and the Reds hold the record for most League Cup wins, too, with ten.
Follow the Carabao Cup fourth round draw below along with reaction to Liverpool’s match with West Ham:
FULL-TIME! Liverpool 5-1 West Ham
So, a dominant display from Liverpool who were nearly flawless in their 5-1 dismantling of West Ham.
The red card for Alvarez certainly helped, and the away side had caused a few problems for a much-changed home defence, but Quansah, Gomez and co. held them off for long enough for the attacking unit to do the damage.
The draw for the fourth round is expected at around 10.20pm BST.

GOAL! Liverpool 5-1 West Ham
GOAL! Gakpo has a deserved second.
The Dutchman picks up the ball on the edge of the box, turns Kudus and cuts inside. He hits a low effort from just inside the box, and it takes a deflection off Todibo and creeps into the bottom corner.

Liverpool 4-1 West Ham
There’ll be five minutes of added time here. Liverpool look for a fifth, with Gakpo bursting into the box again, but his low shot is right at Fabianski this time.

GOAL! A deserved one for Gakpo.

Liverpool 3-1 West Ham
A liverpool corner comes to nothing and the match looks like it’s done, with the home side quickly winning it back and happy to pass around the back four.
There’s time for one more though…

Liverpool 3-1 West Ham
Antonio does well to skip past Bradley but the ball bounces off Morton and runs to Kelleher.
Liverpool go down the other end and Nunez gets into the box and to the byline before cutting it back, but Jones can’t turn it in at the far post.

Liverpool 3-1 West Ham
This game is over as a contest, though both sides are still ‘trying’ to get forward.
Paqueta and Summerville try and find a way through on the edge of the box, but it comes to nothing.
