The EFL have confirmed when the draw for the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup will take place. Newcastle United, who have featured in three-successive final eights of the Carabao Cup, take on Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park tonight aiming to book their place in the quarter finals of the competition they won back in March at Wembley.
The Magpies defeated League Two side Bradford City last month to progress to Round Four, whilst Spurs overcame the challenge of Doncaster Rovers 3-0. Thomas Frank’s side are currently unbeaten away from home this season in all competitions, whilst Newcastle have won three-straight matches at St James’ Park against Nottingham Forest, Benfica and Fulham.
When is the Carabao Cup quarter final draw?
The Carabao Cup quarter final draw will take place following the conclusion of Newcastle United’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur. The draw will be broadcast live on Sky Sports on Sky Sports Main Event.
The EFL have confirmed that Jamie Redknapp and Jobi McAnuff will complete the draw alongside presenter Mark Chapman. It is likely that the draw will be completed around 10:30pm.
If Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur ends in a draw after 90 minutes, then the tie will head straight to a penalty shootout. Extra-time is not played in the Carabao Cup.
The Magpies began their 2024/25 Carabao Cup winning campaign with a penalty shootout win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in August last year. Sean Longstaff, now at Leeds United, netted the winning spot-kick on that day.

Brentford overcame the challenge of Grimsby Town, who knocked Manchester United out of the competition in August, with ease as they hit five at Blundell Park.

Elsewhere tonight, there are five matches to decide the final five teams in the quarter final draw. Along with Newcastle’s clash with Spurs, last season’s runners-up Liverpool host Crystal Palace.
The Eagles ended Liverpool’s 100% start to the season and also defeated them in the Community Shield at Wembley in August. An all Premier League tie at the Emirates Stadium sees Premier League leaders Arsenal take on Brighton and Hove Albion.
