Date of the Carabao Cup quarterfinal between Everton and Fulham “confirmed” after announcement
Everton have been drawn against Fulham in the Carabao Cup quarter-final and a hint for when the tie will take place has been dropped.
Everton defeated Burnley convincingly, 3-0, and now advances to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
Ashley Young, Amadou Onana, and James Tarkowski all scored goals to secure the Toffees’ easy route into the tournament’s last eight. While Sean Dyche’s first objective this season is staying out of the Premier League relegation zone, many supporters are already anticipating that Everton will play at Wembley in three weeks.
Furthermore, Blues fans would have been quite pleased if a home matchup with Fulham was chosen at random. The Cottagers defeated Ipswich Town 3-1 to go to the quarterfinals. Even though Everton fell to the London team on the first day of the Premier League season, they have improved significantly since.
Quarterfinal matches will happen the week starting on Monday, December 18. It is quite probable that the match between Everton and Fulham will occur on Tuesday, December 19, at Goodison Park.
This is due to the fact that Liverpool’s matchup with West Ham United in the round of eight at Anfield, which takes place on Wednesday, December 19, has been chosen to be televised live. Due to concerns over law enforcement and the potential impact on infrastructure, it is not possible for games to be held on the same day at both Goodison and Anfield.
The last time the two Merseyside teams played on the same day at Anfield and Goodison, respectively, was in the FA Cup third round on January 3, 1981. Everton defeated Arsenal 2-0, and Liverpool defeated non-league Altrincham 4-1 with ease.
