Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham side worked to the very last second of Wednesday night to send Manchester City packing from this season's Carabao Cup. Their reward? A date with the red half of Manchester in the next round. 

Spurs will host United, who blitzed Leicester City 5-2 in Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in interim charge at Old Trafford. While United seem almost certain to appoint Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim as their new permanent manager it remains unclear how soon that deal can be done. They will surely hope to have him at the helm for the cup quarter-final trip to Tottenham which comes in mid-December. 

In the other three ties, the big sides remaining avoided one another with Arsenal given a home clash with Crystal Palace and Newcastle also benefitting from home advantage with Brentford headed to the northeast.
