League Cup draw: Arsenal host Chelsea in fourth round

Arsenal celebrate

Arsenal will host Chelsea in the stand-out tie of the fourth round of the Capital One Cup.

The Gunners needed a penalty shoot-out to overcome West Brom and set up a meeting with Jose Mourinho's men.

Manchester United's reward for beating eight-time winners Liverpool 1-0 is a home game against Norwich, while Newcastle take on Manchester City.

Birmingham City, who knocked out holders Swansea, earned another home tie against Premier League Stoke.

Tottenham take on Hull and managerless Sunderland meet Southampton in two more all-Premier League ties, while Championship high-fliers Burnley host West Ham and Martin Jol's Fulham travel to Leicester.

Arsenal, who have not won the League Cup since 1993, were runners-up to Chelsea in the 2007 final.

The Blues also won the trophy in 2005, the opening silverware of Mourinho's first spell in charge.

United reached the fourth round courtesy of a Javier Hernandez strike early in the second half at Old Trafford and boss David Moyes said he was delighted to be drawn at home again - but was wary of the threat posed by the Canaries.

"Norwich are a good side, they have got a good manager and we will give them every respect," he said.

The matches will be played on 29 or 30 October.
