Tottenham will host Arsenal while Birmingham will take on rivals Aston Villa as the Capital One Cup third round draw threw up some mouthwatering ties.

Spurs, who beat Arsenal 5-1 on aggregate on their way to winning the competition in 2008 and who lost to Chelsea in last season's final, will host their north London rivals at White Hart Lane.

The two teams last met in the competition in 2011, when Arsenal won 4-1 on their way to the final, where they lost to 2-1 to Birmingham.

The Blues, who eased to a 2-0 win over Gillingham in the second round on Tuesday night, have the chance to knock-out their second city rivals Villa, who needed extra-time to beat Notts County 5-3.
