Chelsea have been drawn against Everton in the Fourth Round of the EFL Cup.

The Blues, who booked their place in the draw with a resounding 5-1 win over Championship Nottingham Forest, will host the Toffees in the week commencing 23rd October.

It was an evening of firsts at Stamford Bridge, with Charly Musonda, Ethan Ampadu, Dujon Sterling and Jake Clarke-Salter making their home debuts, while striker Michy Batshuayi scored his first hat-trick for the club.

Antonio Conte will be confident of securing another result against Ronald

Koeman’s side. Since the Italian took over in west London, he has hosted the Merseysiders, who beat Sunderland 3-0 in the Third Round, twice – winning both without scoring a goal and scoring seven.

Elsewhere, there will be a London derby at Wembley Stadium where Tottenham will host Slaven Bilic and his West Ham side, whilst Arsenal host Norwich City and Manchester United travel to Swansea, amongst other ties.
