The Carabao Cup takes centre stage midweek as eight clubs look to reach the semi-finals.
Arsenal’s clash with Sunderland gets the action started tonight, while we also focus on two of the Premier League’s in-form stars.
Arsenal vs Sunderland
A Premier League fixture as recently as 2017, Sunderland head to Arsenal in the first of the quarter-finals as a League One club looking to cause an upset.
The Black Cats are in the fourth consecutive season in the third tier and desperately battling for one of the promotion spots.
But they would dearly love to stop the Gunners’ cup run — not that it will be an easy task against Mikel Arteta’s in-form side.
Gabriel Martinelli has been at the top of his game in recent weeks and we look at his road to becoming Arsenal’s main man.
In Focus
A brilliant weekend for Manchester City in the title race saw Raheem Sterling round off a 4-0 win at Newcastle on Sunday.
The Englishman has not had it all his own way this season yet joined the Premier League’s 100 club with his penalty against Wolves a week earlier.
After looking likely to leave the Etihad earlier this campaign, Sterling now looks like playing an important role as City look to defend their title.
Their closest challengers are currently Liverpool and despite dropping points at Tottenham, Diogo Jota continued to impress.
His inch-perfect header to draw the Reds level at 1-1 was his 10th league goal this term and his sixth in his last seven games.
Is the 25-year-old now part of Liverpool’s first-choice front three?
