Eight-time winners Manchester City will host holders Liverpool in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup football competition.

Gillingham, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, face Wolves at Molineux in what will be Julen Lopetegui’s first match in charge of the Premier League side.

Manchester United host Vincent Kompany’s Burnley after beating Aston Villa 4-2 in the third round.
