please log in to view this image Carabao Cup quarter final draw: What time is it, how can I watch and who is in the pot What is it? It's the draw for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. When is it? October 26 2017 (i.e today) at 4pm. What TV channel is it on? Can I shock you? The draw will not be televised, but instead will be broadcast live on Twitter, from their London HQ. Who is making the draw? Can I shock you again? The draw will be made by those two well-known footballing legends Matt 'Daws' Dawson and Phil 'Tuffers' Tufnell. The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that in actual fact 'Daws' is a retired rugby player and 'Tuffers' is a former cricketer. But the EFL have decided that the Question of Sport captains are what is required to boost the Carabao Cup's profile. please log in to view this image Matt Dawson will make the draw with Phil Tuffnel What can we expect from the draw? The Carabao Cup draws so far have been an exercise in ineptitude, with the highlights including: Round one: Streamed live on Facebook, the draw was beset by audio problems and Charlton Athletic appeared on screen twice. Round two: John Salako called out Brentford as having an away tie, despite the colour of the ball signifying they would be playing at home. Round three: British viewers were largely unable to watch the draw after the decision was made to have it at 4.15am UK time. please log in to view this image Eddie Nketiah scored twice against Norwich on Tuesday to keep Arsenal in the League Cup What are they saying? EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: “The EFL prides itself on being innovative and not being afraid to try something new if we believe it has the potential to increase exposure and awareness of our competitions at home and abroad. “We are therefore excited to team up with Twitter to give fans of EFL clubs across the world access to the round-five draw via their new live streaming service. It’s the first time a major cup draw in the UK has been broadcast exclusively live by the social media network and presents us with a rare opportunity to engage with a global fan base alongside being able to continue the debate immediately after the ties are determined. “This is an exciting stage of the Carabao Cup competition with all sides involved edging ever closer to a day out at Wembley and picking up that first piece of silverware of the domestic season in England.” Who is in the pot for the quarter-final? Arsenal Bournemouth Bristol City Chelsea Leicester Manchester City Manchester United West Ham When will the matches be played? On Tuesday December 19 and Wednesday December 20. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/10/26/carabao-cup-quarter-final-draw-live-updates/
