Danny Ward was the highest rated goalkeeper in the round having earned a WhoScored rating of 7.05 as he made three saves and 15 accurate long balls to set up a quarter-final clash with Everton.

Liverpool named an inexperienced XI for their Carabao Cup encounter with Arsenal, with right-back Neco Williams impressing as his WhoScored rating (8.20) suggests. The Reds eventually progressed on penalties, but it was because of Williams that gave Liverpool the chance of a spot in the quarter-finals as he provided the assist for Divock Origi's late equaliser. The assist was a result of the 18-year-old's only key passes, while four dribbles, four tackles and four interceptions capped a fine showing. 

Centre-back: Nicolas Otamendi (Manchester City) - 8.53 rating

Manchester City didn't put nine past Southampton like Leicester managed last week, but were comfortable in their 3-1 win over Saints. Nicolas Otamendi headed City into a first half lead, that coming from his only shot in the victory, and was tidy on the ball as he returned a 95% pass success rate. Five aerial duels won, three tackles and three clearances contributed towards a WhoScored rating of 8.53. 

Centre-back: Mason Holgate (Everton) - 8.05 rating

The 23-year-old's goal was from his only effort in the victory, while Holgate won three aerial duels in the encounter. A 93.5% pass success rate from 77 passes was a fine return for the youngster, who also made one tackle and one interception to help return a WhoScored rating of 8.05. 

Left-back: Christian Fuchs (Leicester) - 7.61 rating

Rounding off the backline is the second of four Leicester players in this XI.
