Notably, the quarter-finals guarantee the presence of a representative from the English Football League (EFL).

Port Vale’s journey to the quarter-finals was etched with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Mansfield, while Middlesbrough advanced through an enthralling five-goal spectacle against Exeter.

 

Everton, who orchestrated a masterful 3-0 win against Burnley, now extend the hand of hospitality to Fulham. Fulham, in their own right, showed their mettle with a 3-1 victory over Ipswich.
