Carabao Cup: Holders Manchester United drawn away to Swansea in fourth round

Last updated on 20 September 2017.From the section Football50

Manchester United will play away at Swansea City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, while Chelsea will be at home against Everton.

Manchester City have been drawn against Championship Wolves, with Tottenham hosting West Ham in a London derby.

Arsenal play Norwich City, while Leicester City, who knocked out Liverpool, face Leeds United at home.

Bournemouth host Middlesbrough and Bristol City take on Crystal Palace in the other fourth-round ties.

Jose Mourinho's United, who beat Southampton in the Wembley final in February, moved into the last 16 with a comfortable 4-1 win over Championship side Burton Albion and meet 2013 League Cup winners Swansea.

Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 in the Premier League in August and the two sides will meet at Stamford Bridge after comfortable third-round wins over Nottingham Forest and Sunderland respectively.

Norwich, 12th in the Championship, are the lowest ranked side left in the competition and travel to Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal, who edged out League One Doncaster Rovers.

Championship Bristol City have knocked out Premier League teams Watford and Stoke City and entertain Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace in round four.

Manchester City beat West Brom 2-1 on Wednesday and will next play a Wolves side who are second in the Championship.

City needed a replay to get past then-Championship side Huddersfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup last season and boss Pep Guardiola said he will not under-estimate the second-tier side.

"We will respect Wolves and we know from experience against Huddersfield last season so we will be ready," said Guardiola.

Anybody else confused as to why a Thai energy drink company has been allowed to sponsor an English football competition?

Why are we exposing our kids to the idea that energy drinks are "sporty"? We banned cigarette companies from sponsoring teams and it's about time we banned heart attack inducing "energy drinks" (and betting companies) too.

Don't normally respond to Idiotbox as I find their comments well suited to the name, but in this case feel it necessary

Apart from occasional shock results (Leicester, Wigan etc), how many teams outside the top 7 win trophies in this country other than the League Cup?

I support one of those top 7, but I don't consider the other 85 clubs in the league to be failures. Good for them if they win

@4 What a pointless and ignorant comment to make!! If it was a "pointless tournament" then why are Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Still doing in there?? Obviously taking it seriously! Its also a chance for the smaller teams to try and get into Europe, trips to Valencia and Napoli came about for us Swansea fans because we won this tournament. It is not a pointless tournament

10. ....and the first comment was made by....... you. Oh, and I enjoyed the matches last night and nice to see the lower division clubs (a) having a memorable evening and (b) making some much needed cash out of it. Congrats to Burton for sticking at it.

From a neutral perspective it looks like a good draw for the cup.

Most of the big teams are separated, meaning we could have some big matches later on, which they'll take more seriously as they're close to winning the cup.

For dark horses in the tournament, maybe Bournemouth and West Ham, if they each get their seasons going and select strong teams.

I am absolutely disgusted that Neymar is asking PSG to get rid of Cavani because they had a disagreement on the pitch. Just shows what an obnoxious person he is just get over it. That sort of thing happens every week at all levels. If I was the manager he would be on the bench until he apologised to Cavani who is supposed to be a teammate. Would hope every manager/coach agrees with me.

Spurs v West Ham..A tasty tie (in every sense of the word) indeed.

Both teams will need to be on top of there game for this one.
But especially so the Met and BTP.

"Norwich, 12th in the Championship, are the lowest ranked side left in the competition and travel to Emirates Stadium to play Arsenal, who edged out League One Doncaster Rovers"

Lowest side left, edged out Doncaster. Can only assume the author wants to point out Lucky Arsenal

I just wish you'd publish the actual fixtures. I do not want to know the BBC's opinion on what games are the "big" ones. I can read the matches for myself thank you very much. Oh and by the way, the so-called "big" clubs don't give a monkeys about this competition anyway!

"14. Posted by Rieko: Why is the headline MU drawn at Swansea."

I'll spell it out for you:

1) They are the current holders of the cup

2) They are the most popular club in Britain - this is the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation, its Licence Fee payers want oodles of Man Utd coverage

3) They are the most popular club in the world. Millions of fans read BBC News just for Man Utd coverage
