The fourth-round fixtures are expected to take place on the week commencing December 19 – just days after the World Cup final in Qatar.

Manchester City – who have won the league cup in four of the last five seasons – will have home advantage for their clash with Liverpool.

Pundit Dion Dublin said of the tasty cup clash: “It’s the tie of the round.

“I don’t think either side would’ve wanted that tie.

“But, you know, big game. If you wanna things, you’ve got to beat the best.”;

Burnley’s visit to Old Trafford to take on the inconsistent Manchester United will see a familiar face try to put the Red Devils to the sword.

The Clarets are currently managed by former Man City skipper Vicent Kompany, who has shone in his debut season at Turf Moor.
