Capital One Cup third round draw: Arsenal face Tottenham at White Hart Lane and champions Chelsea travel to Walsall



Tottenham Hotspur will host Arsenal in the Capital One Cup after the third-round draw was made on Tuesday night.
The two north London rivals will meet at White Hart Lane on the week commencing September 21.
It will be the third time in 10 years the north London rivals have met in the competition, with Arsenal victorious in a two-legged semi-final in 2007, Spurs gaining revenge at the same stage the following year with a 6-2 aggregate scoreline and Arsenal winning 4-1 after extra time in the third round in 2010-11.  
Harry Kane was the hero for Spurs the last time the sides met with the England international netting a brace as Tottenham came from behind to win 2-1 at home back in February. 
Manchester United will play Ipswich at Old Trafford, while defending champions Chelsea travel to Walsall.

Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-0 in the 2015 final at Wembley on March 1 and will begin their defence against the League Two side.
The draw has thrown up two other local derbies as Aston Villa, who needed extra-time before eventually overcoming Notts County 5-3 at Villa Park in the second round on Tuesday, come up against Birmingham.
While Crystal Palace, who also needed extra-time to beat League One opposition Shrewsbury Town, welcome fellow south-east Londoners Charlton Athletic to Selhurst Park. 
After knocking out Queens Park Rangers, League Two side Carlisle are rewarded with a trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool.
Premier League leaders Manchester City travel to the North-East to face Sunderland, who beat Exeter 6-3 on Tuesday as Jermain Defoe grabbed a hat-trick, and Leicester City play West Ham.
In the final tie of the second round Everton travel to Barnsley on Wednesday night with the winner taking on Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
