EFL Cup Quarter-finals: United To Host West Ham

Manchester United’s reward for beating Manchester City on Wednesday is a home draw against West Ham United in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

Juan Mata’s 54th-minute goal was enough to seal victory at Old Trafford in the 173rd Manchester derby and take the Reds into the last eight of the competition for the first time since the 2013/14 season.

Ander Herrera told MUTV after the game: "We faced West Ham four times last season - they are not in as good a moment as then but they have the players and the quality, and sooner or later the quality is going to come out. We have to control the very good players they have."

It will be United's third League Cup encounter against the Hammers, who beat Chelsea 2-1 at home to reach this stage. The Reds beat the Londoners 1-0 at Old Trafford in October 1985 but lost 4-0 at the Boleyn Ground in November 2010.

The tie will take place on Tuesday 29 or Wednesday 30 November.

Full quarter-final draw:

Liverpool v Leeds United
Manchester United v West Ham United
Hull City v Newcastle United
Arsenal v Southampton
