Manchester City have been drawn against Liverpool in the headline clash of the fourth round Carabao Cup draw.
It means City will host the current holders of the tournament just days after the World Cup comes to a conclusion in Qatar.
Manchester United will face Burnley after they saw off Burnley, while League Two Gillingham - who are 22nd in the table - travel to Premier League side Wolves.
The draw that means that at minimum, just two of the Premier League's 'Big Six' will reach the quarter finals of the FA Cup - after Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all exited at the third round stage.
Liverpool have a tough job on their hands to retain the Carabao Cup after they were drawn away at Manchester City with the match to take place just days after the World Cup final. Man City have been handed another Premier League rival after seeing off Chelsea this week
It also offers the opportunity for the likes of Newcastle, Leicester and Brighton to mount strong cup runs.
All three sides were handed favourable fourth round draws, with Newcastle given a home tie against Eddie Howe's former side Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Leicester and Brighton will travel to League One sides MK Dons and Brighton.
Also the fourth round will see Southampton host League One Lincoln and Nottingham Forest will travel to Championship side Blackburn.
The eight ties will take place over December 20-21, just days after the World Cup final in Qatar takes place on December 18.
Any teams who have players in the World Cup final will therefore be likely to not have those same players available for the Carabao Cup.
The fourth round of the Carabao Cup will be played over December 21 and 22. Teams will play just days after the World Cup in Qatar comes to an end on December 18
