Xabi Alonso will be set for his first Anfield return as Chelsea boss after his side beat Leeds last week , with the Reds getting past Tottenham on Tuesday.

Alonso, who won the Champions League with Liverpool as a player during a distinguished spell, was touted as a possible replacement for Arne Slot but went to Stamford Bridge instead.

Chelsea's trip to Anfield is one of five all-Premier League clashes, with a potential sixth if Manchester City beat Norwich on Thursday, live on Sky Sports, which would set up a home tie against Brighton, who pulled off a sensational comeback to win at Manchester United .

League Two side Fleetwood will host Arsenal after upsetting Championship side Sheffield United at home in the third round.

Elsewhere, Everton host Newcastle, Brentford go to Sunderland, Fulham face Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage, and Bournemouth welcome Aston Villa.

There will be a League One team in the quarter-finals as Bradford host Peterborough.

The fourth round of the Carabao Cup takes place the week commencing October 26.
