EFL Cup holders Liverpool were handed the toughest of fourth-round draws on Thursday with a trip to Premier League champions Manchester City.
Liverpool have struggled domestically this season, needing a penalty shootout to dispose of second-tier Derby County on Wednesday after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Anfield.
City, who have won four of the last five EFL Cups, were made to work hard for their third-round victory over Chelsea.
City's only defeat in all competitions this season was against Liverpool, however, with Mohamed Salah's late strike giving them a 1-0 Premier League win last month.
Manchester United, who twice came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-2 at Old Trafford on Thursday, host second-tier Burnley in the fourth round and there is another all-Premier League clash as Newcastle United entertain Bournemouth.
The ties will be played in the week commencing December 19, just after the World Cup final in Qatar.
