Bradford City welcomes the giant Manchester City

Manchester City has the more unusual assignment on paper. League One club Bradford City will host the Cityzens in the quarter-finals. The gap between the two teams suggests a clear hierarchy, but the Carabao Cup has often made a treasure out of surprises.
