As quartas de final da Copa da Liga vão colocar Liverpool e Bournemouth frente a frente, mandar o Manchester City à casa do Bradford City, da League One, e dar ao Fleetwood Town, da League Two, um jogo em casa contra o vencedor de Everton e Newcastle.
O Crystal Palace completa a lista dos oito melhores com um jogo em casa contra o Sunderland, o único outro confronto totalmente da Premier League.
O Liverpool chegou a esta fase ao vencer o Chelsea nos pênaltis. O Bournemouth avançou com estilo, batendo o Aston Villa por 3 a 0. O Manchester City também precisou dos pênaltis para passar pelo Brighton, e o Palace venceu no Fulham com o único gol da partida, de Eddie Nketiah. O Sunderland eliminou o Brentford por 3 a 2, e o Bradford bateu o Peterborough por 2 a 0.
Os jogos serão disputados na semana que começa em 14 de dezembro.
Para o técnico do Liverpool, Andoni Iraola, o sorteio entregou justamente o adversário que ele esperava evitar: o Bournemouth que ele deixou para trás. “Eu estava falando antes do sorteio e disse: ‘o único time que eu não quero é o Bournemouth’”, contou.
“Para mim é especial, mas eles me conhecem muito bem, estão jogando muito bem ultimamente, num bom momento. Mas é o que é”, acrescentou, observando que o único consolo é mais uma noite em Anfield.
Reencontros têm sido um tema da temporada dele: o amigo e ex-companheiro Inigo Perez na Liga dos Campeões, depois Xabi Alonso, além de uma vitória em seu primeiro retorno ao Vitality Stadium.
“Mas precisamos conquistar o direito de estar na semifinal e espero que a gente consiga isso aqui em casa de novo”, disse.
