Carling Cup holders Tottenham face a tough task in the fourth round of the competition after being pitted against seven-time winners Liverpool in one of three all-Premier League ties.
Spurs, who defeated Chelsea to lift the trophy last season, took a break from their league troubles to dump Newcastle out in the previous round and must beat top-flight opposition again if they are to progress.
Liverpool travel to White Hart Lane as the most successful side in League Cup history, last winning the competition in 2005.
Arsenal's much-vaunted youngsters, who demolished Sheffield United 6-0 last time out, will get another chance to impress, this time against Premier League opponents Wigan at the Emirates.
Sunderland and Blackburn, managed by former Manchester United stars Roy Keane and Paul Ince respectively, will also face each other at the Stadium of Light, while United themselves host QPR.
Carling Cup 4th Round draw: Sunderland v Blackburn; Arsenal v Wigan; Chelsea v Burnley; Swansea v Watford; Man Utd v QPR; Stoke v Rotherham; Brighton/Derby v Leeds; Tottenham v Liverpool
Ties to be played during the week commencing the 10th November.
