Liverpool succeeded in crossing the gate of Bournemouth with a 2-1 victory, while Newcastle crushed its host and defending champion Manchester United with a clean treble at the Theatre of Dreams.
West Ham also qualified for the quarter-finals after eliminating Arsenal by beating them 3-1, along with Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Middlesbrough and Port Valle.
The draw was held just after the end of Wednesday's matches and resulted in a fiery clash between Liverpool and West Ham, while Newcastle continue their difficult path and set up a date with Chelsea.
The result of the draw for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup was as follows:
Liverpool × West Ham
Chelsea × Newcastle
Everton × Fulham
Port Valley × Middlesbrough
It remains to be noted that after the end of the quarter-finals there will be a special draw for the semi-final matches, which are the only matches that will be played in a home-and-away system as is the usual historically, with the away goal rule abolished.
