Full draw:

Ties played week commencing 26 October

Blackburn v Peterborough

Man City v Sc**thorpe

Tottenham v Everton

Barnsley v Man Utd

Chelsea v Bolton

Sunderland v Aston Villa

Arsenal v Liverpool

Portsmouth v Stoke

Honestly speaking, I'm pleased that the Arse and Scum have drawn each other. Qualification of the next round should not be a problem for us, and the fact that a serious contender WILL be knocked out of the run makes life a lot easier.

Yeah I know what you mean I also hope Sc**thorpe go out. :P

It was Bolton away in the League Cup that same week in 1996 when Matthew Harding died. Poignant anniversary.

A moment of silence for sure.

Good draw for us, should do well enough to move onto the final 8

Should be a good game to test some of our youngsters and 2nd strring players again. Wenger came out and said he still going to play his youth, pretty funny if they managedd to beat liverpool

Good draw for us, a good bet for the last 8! lets see dan sturridge get his chance!

Let's hope he's fit

Is he out injured at the minute mate?

Is he out injured at the minute mate?

Pulled muscle which is why he missed the game against QPR

we should play reserves and youth players for this match and give the likes of sturridge a run out to show what he can do, he hasnt really been given a chance after doing well in pre season

So we have a home and home with Bolton then? First in the league cup followed by an EPL match 3 days later?
