Carabao Cup holders Liverpool will face Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round after thrashing West Ham United on Wednesday evening.
West Ham took the lead after Jarell Quansah put through his own net but two goals either side of half-time from Diogo Jota put the hosts in command. Mohamed Salah scored off the bench before Cody Gakpo netted a quickfire brace of his own to complete a resounding 5-1 victory.
Newcastle United’s third-round match against AFC Wimbledon was postponed on Tuesday due to flooding and will now take place at St James’ Park on October 1. The winner of that tie will play host to Chelsea, who routed League Two leaders Barrow courtesy of a Christopher Nkunku hat-trick, Pedro Neto’s first goal for the club and a Paul Farman own goal.
Elsewhere, Manchester City — six-time winners of the competition in the past 10 years — travel to Tottenham Hotspur while Manchester United take on Leicester City.
Championship outfit Preston North End’s reward for their penalty shootout win over Fulham is a visit from Arsenal, who progressed with a 5-1 win over Bolton Wanderers.
