Boss Brian Barry-Murphy says Cardiff City's Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Chelsea is "amazing" but warns it cannot distract from their league ambitions.

Defending champions Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory against Tottenham at St James' Park, booking a place in the EFL Cup 2025-26 quarter-finals

LONDON -- If Arsenal are going to hang around in the EFL Cup, this is the way to do it. No key men were risked, squad players got much-needed reps and Hale End's finest made the right impression. That all this came with a berth in the quarterfinals of this competition makes it that fraction better.

Palace are set to host Manchester City in the Premier League on 14 December, play KuPS at Selhurst Park in the Conference League on 18 December and travel to Leeds United in the Premier League on 21 December. BBC Sport has been told by sources that the dates under discussion are 16 and 23 December, with Christmas Eve also an option.

The EFL have confirmed when the draw for the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup will take place. Newcastle United, who have featured in three-successive final eights of the Carabao Cup, take on Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park tonight aiming to book their place in the quarter finals of the competition they won back in March at Wembley.
