Tottenham will play Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Spurs beat Premier League champions Manchester City 2-1 to reach the last eight and their reward was another home against opponents from Manchester.

United’s first game following the sacking of Erik ten Hag on Monday saw a 5-2 win over Leicester, with Ruud van Nistelrooy in interim charge. Spurs, who have not won a trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008, beat United 3-0 in the Premier League at Old Trafford at the end of September.

Holders Liverpool will return to the south coast after beating Brighton 3-2 on Wednesday. The 10-time winners will visit Southampton, while Newcastle’s reward for overcoming Chelsea was a home tie against Brentford.

Arsenal will entertain Crystal Palace – surprise fourth-round winners at Aston Villa – in an all-London tie. The quarter-final matches will be played in the week beginning Monday, December 15.

Unai Emery defends his team selection after Aston Villa suffer cup knockout

01:01 , Jamie Braidwood

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery had no regrets about his team selection after watching his much-changed side crash out of the Carabao Cup to Crystal Palace.

Emery made wholesale changes to his line-up, with Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Martinez, Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers, Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley not even in the matchday squad.

Emery insisted he would pick the same side if he played the match 100 times again.

“We started with 11 players in the first-team squad,” he said.

“Of course I am disappointed and frustrated, but we competed with the players to get the performance.

“If I am repeating this match 100 times I am playing with the same players.”

Eddie Howe feels cup win can be a big moment in Newcastle’s season

00:31 , Jamie Braidwood

Eddie Howe was delighted with Newcastle’s response after they reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup for the third year in a row with a 2-0 win against Chelsea.

The Magpies bounced back from Sunday’s Premier League defeat against the same opponents at Stamford Bridge as two first-half goals sealed victory on Tyneside.

A mistake at the back allowed Alexander Isak to put Newcastle ahead in the 23rd minute and they extended their lead just three minutes later when Joe Willock’s deflected header was turned into his own net by Axel Disasi.

“We needed a performance and a result, I think we got that tonight,” Newcastle head coach Howe said.

“Especially in the first half, I thought it was hallmark us at our best; front foot, really good energy, good feel, good quality, good attitude – most importantly – and a massive win for us.”

Arne Slot insists Cody Gakpo has big part to play at Liverpool

00:01 , Jamie Braidwood

Liverpool boss Arne Slot insisted Cody Gakpo is very much part of his Premier League plans after the forward’s stunning double set the Carabao Cup holders on course for the quarter-finals.

Gakpo gave a timely reminder of his talents on Wednesday evening with a pair of powerful finishes before Luis Diaz sealed the Reds’ 3-2 fourth-round victory at Brighton.

The Netherlands international has been a peripheral figure at Anfield since Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the summer, starting just two of nine top-flight fixtures.

Slot, who made eight changes for the Amex Stadium tie, was impressed by the impact of his squad players, including his fellow Dutchman.

Tottenham answer biggest question of their season to fuel Carabao Cup dream

Wednesday 30 October 2024 23:08 , Jamie Braidwood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The roar of relief was everything. Tottenham could not afford to mess up this opportunity but Ange Postecoglou’s side held firm, knocking Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup to hand Pep Guardiola’s team their first defeat of the season. Tottenham’s ability to self-destruct ensured this was still a gripping cup tie, even as City chased the game in second gear. It was almost enough and although Bernardo Silva’s protests at full-time suggested City wanted to win this just as much as Spurs, the sight of Erling Haaland grinning on the bench, an unused substitute even as City trailed for over 90 minutes, told a different story.

Ruud van Nistelrooy happy to ‘help and serve’ Manchester United’s next manager

Wednesday 30 October 2024 22:58 , Richard Jolly

Ruud van Nistelrooy has vowed to stay on at Manchester United under Ruben Amorim if he is wanted to and said he will serve as interim manager for as long as they ask him to.

The former United striker won his first game in temporary charge after Erik ten Hag’s sacking by overseeing a 5-2 win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup, with both Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes scoring twice.

But while United have made Amorim their top target to take over and are willing to trigger his release clause with Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese has a 30-day release clause and United are in negotiations to bring the 39-year-old to Old Trafford sooner and to try and take his coaching staff of Daniel Fernandes and Adelio Candido as well.

Not long now until the draw is made. In a pretty gloomy season for Southampton so far, Russell Martin would surely love a winnable tie – be that against a smaller side or one of the bigger teams with a particularly devilish December in terms of fixture congestion.

Chelsea’s defeat does mean that we have avoided a nightmare scenario that would have seen Enzo Maresca’s side scheduled for a Conference League and Carabao Cup tie in the same midweek.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s debut outing proves Manchester United were right to dismiss Erik ten Hag

Wednesday 30 October 2024 22:15 , Richard Jolly at Old Trafford

Ruud van Nistelrooy always promised goals for Manchester United. There were 36 in his first season as a player, 44 in his second. There were seven in his first game as their interim manager, five of them for United. The third-lowest scorers in the Premier League, United discovered a prolific streak under him. If it is to prove his lone evening in charge of United, what a night for him.

The match which showed why Liverpool’s left flank may be about to change

Wednesday 30 October 2024 22:06 , Karl Matchett at the Amex Stadium

Arne Slot didn’t do a whole lot of switching around his Liverpool lineup in the opening weeks of the season, to the extent that he was questioned about rotation and managing minutes several times and had to explain why he hadn’t needed to, much at least, at Feyenoord.

Fast forward a couple of months into his reign and there has certainly been more switching about in midweek action, Champions League and Carabao Cup matches offering an opportunity to fringe first-teamers and with one or two of those – Curtis Jones most notably – who had been onlookers at the start of the season being far more regularly in the initial XI for matches now.

But in an entertaining, though otherwise probably unremarkable, fourth round League Cup match at Brighton and Hove Albion, Slot perhaps gave an indication – and more importantly was shown the reasons – that there might now be the most significant early switch-up in his team over the coming weeks.

Ethan Nwaneri shines as Arsenal ease past Preston

Wednesday 30 October 2024 22:02 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Ethan Nwaneri grabbed the spotlight with a stunning strike as Arsenal eased into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win over Preston.

The 17-year-old Nwaneri, who scored his first senior goals with a brace when the Gunners romped to a 5-1 win over Bolton in the previous round, was at the heart of things again and bent in a fine shot to double Arsenal’s lead after Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring with his first goal of the season.

Kai Havertz came off the bench to add a third as Arsenal extended Preston’s unwanted record of having played more games in this competition than any other club, now 185, without making the last eight.

Arsenal have long known they have a potential gem on their hands – it is two years since Nwaneri became the Premier League’s youngest player at the age of 15 and 181 days – and the attacking midfielder put in a performance which suggests he is ready to make a bigger contribution.

Newcastle pounce on Chelsea errors to progress to Carabao Cup quarter-finals

Wednesday 30 October 2024 21:57 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Newcastle United scored two goals in three first-half minutes to earn revenge over Chelsea with a 2-0 win and reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Three days on from their Premier League defeat to the Blues at Stamford Bridge, the Magpies responded with an impressive first-half display.

Alexander Isak pounced on a mistake at the back to score the opener before Joe Willock’s deflected header was turned in by Axel Disasi.

Chelsea put in an improved second-half performance and had their best chance of the match when Joao Felix fired wide, but last season’s runners-up were unable to find a response.

Martin reacts to Saints win

Wednesday 30 October 2024 21:48 , Mike Jones

“It’s been a while – it feels good,” said Russell Martin, who watched the match from the stands due to a touchline ban, said of the victory.

“It’s never easy in the cup. We got through, we made it tougher than it should have been for sure but we also showed a bit of character to get through a bit of adversity.

“Thankfully a moment of quality won it for us. Big credit to Stoke but I think we deserved to win.”

‘They’re allowed to smile’: Martin reveals reaction of Saints players after win

Wednesday 30 October 2024 21:42 , Mike Jones

Southampton manager Russell Martin revealed that his players were ‘annoyed’ after edging past Stoke City 3-2 in the Carabao Cup despite booking a place in the next round.

Martin said: “The guys were a bit annoyed coming in, they didn’t look very happy so I reminded them they’re allowed to smile.

“We won and got through and we’re in the quarter-final of a cup so I think it’s important. By the end they are smiling and the music was on. Hopefully we can carry that on on Saturday.”

Russell Martin wants Southampton to build on cup win

Wednesday 30 October 2024 21:36 , Mike Jones

Southampton manager Russell Martin hopes to carry a feelgood factor into the Premier League after his struggling side survived a scare to scrape into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The top-flight’s bottom club blew a two-goal lead against Championship side Stoke before James Bree’s 88th-minute winner spared their blushes in a 3-2 success at St Mary’s.

“We need to celebrate every victory as a group, whether it’s against a Championship team in the cup, whether it’s a Premier League game, you have to enjoy those moments together,” said Martin, with one eye on Saturday’s home game against Everton.

James Bree struck a late winner as Premier League strugglers Southampton survived a major scare by scraping into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Championship side Stoke.

Goals from Potters pair Ashley Phillips and Tom Cannon threatened to force a penalty shoot-out after Saints blew a two-goal lead following Taylor Harwood-Bellis’ header and Adam Armstrong’s spot-kick.

Defender Bree prevented a new low in a miserable season so far for the top-flight’s bottom club by rifling home from range in the 88th minute at a sparsely-populated St Mary’s.

Before Manchester United went all in on targerting Ruben Amorim, Brentford manager Thomas Frank had been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

It never materialised and the Bees boss says he is perfectly happy where he is.

“I think it’s nice for the ego, that someone recognises I’m part of something, but I’m not focusing too much on it,” he said, drawing a line under that particular saga.

“I have a big responsibility to this club and I love it here, and we are one step closer to some more incredible matches.”

Thomas Frank on Brentford’s win over Sheffield Wednesday

Wednesday 30 October 2024 21:15 , Mike Jones

The Bees boss praised his team’s efforts in the penalty shootout rued the chances they missed during the match itself. Thomas Frank said: “We should have been up 2-0. But this time we had five good penalties and one good save.

“The only complaint is that we didn’t score a second goal in the first half. Second half, goal for them, suddenly it’s ‘what’s happening’?

“You know their players will come on and we know they will run through a brick wall. They worked incredibly hard, well organised.”

Mark Flekken was Brentford’s hero as the Premier League side needed penalties to see off stubborn Sheffield Wednesday and reach the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The Bees looked to be cruising into the last eight after taking the lead through Kevin Schade and bossing a one-sided first half.

But Championship Wednesday levelled shortly before the hour with their first effort on target through Djeidi Gassama’s spectacular strike.
