Carabao Cup: Arsenal Draw West Ham, Chelsea Play Bournemouth As Man City Face Leicester

After nearly two hours delay due to technical problems, the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw have been made.

The draw which was expected to be made at 4pm Thursday, was shifted to about 6pm, denying fans attempt to broadcast on Twitter.

However, after four announcements explaining the delay, it was finally shown as a pre-recorded video.

In the draw, Bristol City was paired with Manchester United, while Arsenal will face West Ham.

Also, Leicester City are at home to Manchester City and Chelsea will host Bournemouth.

The ties will be played the week commencing 18 December.

Both the English Football League (EFL) and Twitter apologised for the delay.

A statement from the EFL read: “The EFL has received an apology from Twitter UK for the delay which is believed to have occurred as a result of a faulty encoder.

“The EFL has requested a full explanation into the events that led to this afternoon’s unacceptable delay.”

A Twitter spokesman said: “We’re sorry for the issues that led to the delay of today’s round five draw. We would also like to apologise to the thousands of supporters who had been patiently awaiting news of who their team would be playing.”
