Liverpool will face Leeds United at Anfield after knocking out Tottenham, while top-flight strugglers Hull will be visited by Newcastle United.


Jose Mourinho's United eased into the last eight on Wednesday night thanks to an ugly win over a much-rotated Manchester City side, Juan Mata's second-half goal proving the difference between the two bitter rivals.

#MUFC will be at home to West Ham in the quarter-finals of the #EFLCup. The tie will be played on either 29 or 30 November.

Wednesday also saw West Ham knock out Chelsea in a match which was perhaps worse-tempered off the pitch than on it, with reports of chairs and coins being thrown between the two pairs of fans. Cheikhou Kouyate andEdimilson Fernandes sealed the game for the home side before Gary Cahill's late consolation.


Leeds are the lowest-ranked club left in the competition after their dramatic penalty shootout win over Norwich on Tuesday - with Newcastle the other non-Premier League side still standing.
