Carling Cup draw: Holders Spurs at Watford

The Clarets beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night and will now host Arsene Wenger's impressive youngsters.

Arsenal swept into the last eight with a 3-0 demolition of Wigan at Emirates Stadium despite fielding a team composed almost entirely of teenagers.

Paul Ince will take his Blackburn team to his old stomping ground of Old Trafford to face Manchester United, while holders Tottenham have been drawn away at Watford.

Stoke City and Derby County will meet in an all-Midlands clash in the other quarter-final.

Ties to be played week commencing December 1.

"Now i get it what Iney ment when he talked about players being distracted. An away match to Old Trafford will be ringing in the player's head no doubt, especially seeing that we really need to get as far as we can in the cup. ooh well, hope it inspires the boys today to thump the black cats and get all three point!"
