Manchester City, who are looking to win a fifth successive EFL Cup, have been handed a tough trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham - who dumped Manchester United out of the competition.
City thrashed Wycombe Wanderers 6-1 to reach this stage, while the Hammers secured a 1-0 victory - and revenge for Sunday's Premier League defeat to United - thanks to a first-half strike by Manuel Lanzini.
Elsewhere, Arsenal - who knocked AFC Wimbledon out in the third round - have been handed an all Premier League tie against Leeds United, while fellow top-flight sides Chelsea and Southampton will also be squaring off.
Preston face the unenviable task of hosting Liverpool in what is the first meeting between the pair since 2009. Sunderland, the only third-tier side left in the competition have a fairly good chance of progressing to the quarter-finals as they have been drawn with Championship QPR, albeit away from home.
Leicester, who have a good record in the Carabao Cup in recent times, will look to make their fourth successive quarter-final when they take on Brighton next month. Stoke City vs Brentford and Burnley vs Tottenham are the two other ties.
