North London derby heads draw for Capital One Cup third round Last Updated: 25/08/15 11:42pm
Tottenham will host Arsenal while Birmingham will take on rivals Aston Villa as the Capital One Cup third round draw threw up some mouthwatering ties. Spurs, who beat Arsenal 5-1 on aggregate on their way to winning the competition in 2008 and who lost to Chelsea in last season's final, will host their north London rivals at White Hart Lane.
The two teams last met in the competition in 2011, when Arsenal won 4-1 on their way to the final, where they lost to 2-1 to Birmingham.
The Blues, who eased to a 2-0 win over Gillingham in the second round on Tuesday night, have the chance to knock-out their second city rivals Villa, who needed extra-time to beat Notts County 5-3.
Elsewhere, Preston's reward for knocking out Premier League Watford is home draw against fellow newly-promoted side Bournemouth.
Holders Chelsea will travel to Walsall, while Carlisle, who upset QPR at Loftus Road with a 2-1 win on Tuesday, head to Liverpool in the third round. There is also a derby match-up south of the river in the capital, with Crystal Palace welcoming Charlton to Selhurst Park.
In-form Championship side
Ipswich Town - 4-1 winners at Doncaster in the second-round - will get to test their progress at Manchester United, while Premier League leaders Manchester City travel to struggling Sunderland, who needed a Jermain Defoe hat-trick to earn a nervy 6-3 win over Exeter City. There are two more all-Premier League ties as West Ham, entering the competition after their exertions in Europa League qualifying, travel to Leicester and Norwich host West Brom, who needed penalties to get past Port
Vale.
The remaining Premier League sides remaining in the competition were drawn away from home as Stoke will travel to Fulham, Swansea face Hull and Southampton go to MK Dons. Everton will travel to Reading if they win at Barnsley on Wednesday night.
