Fleetwood to host Everton or Newcastle in EFL Cup quarter-final at Highbury

League Two side Fleetwood Town will take on either Everton or Newcastle United at Highbury in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, the draw has confirmed.

Fleetwood Town, who play in League Two, will host either Everton or Newcastle United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup after the draw paired them with the winner of that Premier League tie.

The result means the fourth-tier club will enjoy a home tie in the last eight of the competition at their Highbury ground. Progressing this far represents a deep run for a club from the lower reaches of the English Football League.

Their opponent is yet to be decided, with Everton and Newcastle United due to meet to determine who travels to Highbury. The winner of that fixture will provide Fleetwood with a top-flight opponent as the cup competition moves closer to its final stages.

The tie offers Fleetwood a high-profile match and the chance to extend their run in one of England's major cup competitions. For Everton or Newcastle, a win would maintain their own ambitions in the tournament and set up a quarter-final trip to a lower-division ground.

Further details on dates and kick-off times will be confirmed by the clubs and competition organisers in due course.
