“Leeds United are a Championship side," Carragher said immediately after the draw was made on Sky Sports.
"They’ll bring a great crowd like they always do.
“But you look at some of the teams in the draw, and they could have gone away to a Premier League side.
"It’s a decent draw for Liverpool.”
The Reds have been in imperious form in the Premier League of late and have lost just one of their last nine games.
They have seen off Arsenal, Chelsea and champions Leicester along the way and are joint-top with the Gunners and Manchester City.
