Ahead of the tonight’s draw, which is expected to take place between 10pm and 10.15pm, a simulation has decided who will play each other in the next round of the Carabao Cup.

After upsetting Fulham in an incredible penalty shootout that ended 16-15 to the hosts, Preston North End will face another uphill battle as they travel to the Etihad to face Premier League champions Manchester City.

Meanwhile City’s local rivals United will face a considerably more challenging task as they travel to London to face Tottenham Hotspur, who they welcome to Old Trafford in the Premier League this weekend.

Should Arsenal progress against Bolton, they could be faced with a rainy night in Stoke as they play Stoke City who defeated League Two side Fleetwood Town 2-1 on penalties last week.

Meanwhile Arne Slot will be faced with more Premier League opposition if he can guide Liverpool past West Ham United, with the simulation drawing tonight’s winners in a home game against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Should Newcastle United best AFC Wimbledon at St James’ Park, they will be given the chance to avenge last season’s quarter-final result as they travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea who won last year’s match in a 4-2 penalty shootout.
