The draw will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
The final eight teams will play their fixtures during the week commencing Monday, 14 December.
While six of the teams in the quarter-finals are guaranteed to be from the Premier League, there will also be a League One and League Two side in the draw.
Bradford City beat fellow League One team Peterborough United on Tuesday night to reach the final eight - the furthest stage they have reached since the final in 2012-13.
Meanwhile, League Two Fleetwood Town produced one of the greatest shocks in EFL Cup history by dumping out reigning Premier League champions Arsenal.
