  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The draw was made on Sunday after the conclusion of the final two quarter-final ties, the last to finish being the big shock of the round as Liverpool upset Arsenal to reach this stage of the competition for the first time since 2017. The Reds are currently without a permanent manager, having said goodbye to Matt Beard at the end of last month, but were able to defeat the high-flying Gunners on the road after an own goal by goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar.
