From the source

Liverpool are through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after seeing off Chelsea on penalties, and the draw that followed gave Andoni Iraola about the only opponent he probably would have preferred to avoid.

Bournemouth, the club he managed before taking charge at Anfield, are coming to Merseyside for a quarter-final tie that carries more than the usual stakes.

This will be the second meeting between Iraola and his old side this season, after Liverpool edged a 1-0 win at the Vitality Stadium back in September.
