Port Vale are ball number two, how to watch the draw for free… full details of the Football League quarter-final draw

Here are all the details of the Football League Cup draw as the Valiants enter the hat for the final eight for the first time in their history.

Firstly, did I hear that right… are Vale really in the final eight?

That’s correct. They’ve produced wins over Fleetwood Town, Crewe Alexandra, Sutton United and now Mansfield Town to reach the quarter-final stage. It’s the first time in the club’s history and Vale are the only club from the bottom two divisions still in the draw. A potential clash against a big club awaits!

When does the draw take place and can I watch it?

The final games from the last sixteen take place tonight and the draw will take place after which means the draw should be between 10:15pm and 10:30pm. The draw will be live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. However, for those without a subscription, the draw will be shown for FREE on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel –
