Cup draw does no favours for Fulham or Brentford, but Chelsea have easiest quarter-final task

Cup favourites : Chelsea have a great chance of another League Cup semi-final

There is only one club outside the Premier League left in this year's Carabao Cup and Chelsea have drawn them.

The Blues will head to the Cardiff City Stadium in December to take on the Welshmen, who defeated Wrexham in this week's Fourth Round, while Enzo Maresca's men were edging a nervy tie at Wolves 4-3.

There are five sides from the capital among the last eight, but only one of them has been drawn at home. Arsenal's 2-0 win over Brighton on Wednesday night sets up a clash with Crystal Palace - who thumped an ailing Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield.

The two sides met only last weekend, when Eberechi Eze's goal settled a league meeting 1-0. The sides met in the competition a year ago, with the Gunners winning 3-2 at the Emirates thanks to a Gabriel Jesus hat-trick.

The draw was unkind to the other west London sides. Fulham's reward for getting past Wycombe Wanderers on penalties is a long trek up north to holders Newcastle - where they recently lost 2-1.

Brentford's 5-0 demolition of Grimsby has brought them the dubious reward of a visit to Manchester City.
