Manchester United visit Swansea, Chelsea host Everton and Arsenal take on Norwich as Carabao Cup fourth-round draw proceeds coherently
Manchester United, the League Cup holders, will travel to Swansea City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. Jose Mourinho's side beat Championship Burton 4-1 at Old Trafford on Wednesday night to secure their place in the draw.
Chelsea, 5-1 winners against Nottingham Forest, will welcome Everton - who beat Sunderland 3-0 - to Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham host London rivals West Ham at Wembley and Manchester City entertain Championship Wolves.
Arsenal will also welcome Championship opposition to the Emirates in the shape of Norwich.
Crystal Palace will be wary of an upset when they travel to Bristol City, Leicester host Leeds and Bournemouth face Middlesbrough at home.
The fourth-round draw took place on familiar turf - and at a reasonable hour - in the Sky Sports studios in west London, rather than its controversial trip to Bangkok or the bizarre decision to hold it in Beijing in the early hours of the morning.
Mercifully, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson also avoided any John Salako-like confusion over who was playing at home or away as they drew out the balls.
The ties will take place during the week commencing October 23.
Spurs v West Ham
Bristol City v Crystal Palace
Swansea v Man Utd
Arsenal v Norwich City
Chelsea v Everton
Man City v Wolves
Leicester v Leeds United
Bournemouth v Middlesbrough
We're five weeks away from the last 16
The ties will be played on October 24 and 25 and are as follows:
Tottenham v West Ham
Bristol City v Crystal Palace
Swansea City v Manchester United
Arsenal v Norwich City
Chelsea v Everton
Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Leicester City v Leeds United
Bournemouth v Middlesbrough
Not one of those ties sparks any specific League Cup memories. Chelsea played Everton in the semis in 2011, Leicester beat Leeds in 1998 a month after Martin O'Neill turned down the Leeds job and Wolves beat Man City in the final 43 years ago but I have no memory of that. Kenny Hibbitt scored. I preferred his brother, Terry.
The tie of the round
Will be Chelsea v Everton. Phil Neville thinks it's a real 'mouthwatering tie'. Tottenham v West Ham will be lively at Wembley, Leicester City v Leeds United should be worth a watch and someone will be televising (and liveblogging) Swansea v Manchester United
And finally
Bournemouth v Middlesbrough
Leicester next up
Leicester v Leeds United

Hello
Rob Bagchi here, straight from the Manchester United v Burton blog. The draw, presided over by the EFL's Shaun Harvey, could literally feature anything. Any kind of mishap is possible, almost certainly self-inflicted. But at least it's being broadcast by a competent company and, wonder of wonders, is taking place in our time zone. It could be the Tiller Girls arm-wrestling Mogwai for alternate picks in downtown Vientiane at 5.45am for the quarter-final draw so we should be grateful for small mercies.
Carabao Cup fourth round vitals
What is it?
It's the fourth-round draw of the League Cup, now known as the Carabao Cup, and, since it's rebranding, has already had its fare share of controversy, most of which centres around the draws.
First, John Salako managed to draw home balls away and away balls home in the second-round draw.
Then it all kicked off in the third round when the EFL announced that the draw would be made at 4.15am BST... in China! Under a TV blackout! Bonkers!
When is it?
Tonight (Wednesday, September 20) once the last of the third-round matches have been played.
Where is it?
Fortunately a little closer to home than the last one - Sky Sports studios in west London.
What time is it?
Good news, it's not at some ungodly hour in the morning, it's at the slightly more reasonable 9.55pm BST.
What TV channel is it on?
Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event will have the draw after showing tonight's live TV match - Man Utd vs Burton.
What are tonight's fixtures?
Arsenal v Doncaster (7.45pm)
Chelsea v Nottm Forest (7.45pm)
