EFL Cup holders Manchester United have been drawn away at Swansea City in the fourth round of the competition.

The Red Devils claimed a 4-1 win over Championship outfit Burton Albion in Wednesday night's third-round clash at Old Trafford to remain in with a chance of retaining the trophy.

The encounter at the Liberty Stadium will pit two recent winners of the competition up against each other, Man United beating Southampton 3-2 in the final last year and Swansea overcoming Bradford City 5-0 in the 2013 showpiece at Wembley Stadium.
