The EFL Cup is entering the business end of the competition as 16 teams get whittled down to eight for the quarter-finals.

Before then, though, we have eight fourth-round ties to navigate, including Frank Lampard returning to Stamford Bridge as Derby County face Chelsea and rivals West Ham and Tottenham meeting in a London derby.

The tie between Leicester City and Southampton has been postponed following the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash outside the stadium.
