Eight matches, featuring 13 teams playing in the premier league, will be played in the fourth round fixtures of Carling Cup 2009/10 in two days -27th October 2009 and 28th October 2009.

The schedule is as follows :

On 27th October 2009

• Barnsley Vs. Manchester United

• Portsmouth Vs. Stoke City
• Blackburn Rovers Vs. Peterborough
• Tottenham Hotspur Vs Everton

On 28th October 2009

• Arsenal Vs. Liverpool
• Chelsea Vs. Bolton Wanderers
• Manchester City Vs. Scunthorpe.

A cursory look at the fixtures reveals some really fascinating and tough encounters.  It is absolutely certain that atleast one of the four big teams in the Premier League will not be able to move to the next round.

While Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City and Manchester United are most likely to move to the fifth round, barring any upsets, the other matches are really interesting, with the match between Arsenal and Liverpool being the most important that would see the elimination of one big team from the Cup.

Preview of each of the teams will follow shortly.
