\"\"Liverpool have been drawn against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals although a date for the fixture has yet to be agreed.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp suggested yesterday he could pull his side out of the competition if a date cannot be found for the quarter final, after the club reached the last eight via a penalty shoot-out following a 10-goal thriller against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

As Champions League winners, Liverpool will be playing in the last four of the Club World Cup in Qatar on 18 December, with the Carabao Cup quarter-finals scheduled for the same week.<\/p>\n

The English Football League released a statement in reply to the Liverpool manager\u2019s comments, saying: \u201cThe EFL is in discussions with Liverpool to identify an alternative date given the club\u2019s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colchester have secured a lucrative trip to Manchester United, and the League Two club will be looking to cause further upset, having already knocked out top-division sides Tottenham and Crystal Palace in the competition\u2019s earlier rounds.<\/p>\n

Manchester City, in search of their third successive league cup trophy, will travel to Oxford, after easing past Southampton on Tuesday in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

Leicester will travel to Everton, who have never won the competition, after a 3-1 win at Burton on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The quarter-finals, aside from the Liverpool fixture, are set to take place the week starting December 16.<\/p>\n
