Liverpool will host AFC Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
The Reds booked their place in the last eight after beating Chelsea on penalties at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The quarter-final ties are scheduled for the week commencing December 14, with fixture and ticket details to be confirmed on Liverpoolfc.com in due course.
After the win over Chelsea, Andoni Iraola said: “Yeah, at the end in the cup competitions what matters is that you are in the next round and you are in the draw.
“Lucky for us finishing the right side of the penalty shootout. I finish pleased because the players have done a very big effort today and at least we get the reward of being in the quarter-finals.
He added: “Honestly, I was talking before the draw and I said, ‘The only team I don’t want is Bournemouth…’ For me, it’s special. They know me very well, they are playing very well lately, in a good moment.
“But it is what it is. We haven’t been very lucky with the draws – we have played Spurs and Chelsea already and now Bournemouth.
“That is going to be obviously special for me. But we have to earn the right to be in the semi-finals and I hope we can do it here at home again.”
