Everton and Liverpool handed home fixtures in Carabao Cup quarter-final draw
Having secured their places in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool will play West Ham while Everton were handed a home tie against Fulham in tonight's draw.
The Blues took part in a thrilling demolition of Sean Dyche's former side Burnley on what was an emotional occasion at Goodison Park. The club marked the passing of chairman Bill Kenwright with a 3-0 win, courtesy of goals from James Tarkowski, Amadou Onana and Ashley Young.
Meanwhile the Reds travelled the South Coast as Storm Ciaran also approached. Cody Gakpo's first-half opener was eventually cancelled out by Justin Kluivert, however some late heroics from Darwin Nunez rescued the round for the Jurgen Klopp's men, who remain in the hunt for the prize they won two seasons ago.

QF Tie 1: Everton vs Fulham
QF Tie 2: Chelsea vs Newcastle United

Those two ties have already been played this season, the Blues losing 1-0 to Marco Silva's men on the opening day of the campaign while the Reds overcame the Hammers at Anfield in September.
