The draw for the fourth round of the League Cup has provided stiff opposition for Arsene Wenger's young guns, as Arsenal take on Liverpool at home.
Mark Hughes, aiming for a first tournament win with fiscal superpower Manchester City, has been offered, on paper, a relatively straightforward encounter with Scunthorpe United. Their local rivals Manchester United, meanwhile, travel to lower league Barnsley.
Other all Premier League ties include Bolton Wanderers' trip to Chelsea, Sunderland's hosting of Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur's home tie with Everton; a side who harbour hopes of claiming the competition, as David Moyes indicated earlier in the week that the League Cup would be taken seriously.
Darren Ferguson could be hoping for a showdown with his father, Sir Alex, providing his Peterborough United outfit negotiate a path into the fifth round pot. Blackburn Rovers stand in their way.
Fixtures: to be completed on week commencing October 26
Arsenal - Liverpool
Barnsley - Manchester United
Blackburn Rovers - Peterborough United
Chelsea - Bolton Wanderers
Manchester City - Scunthorpe United
Portsmouth - Stoke City
Sunderland - Aston Villa
Tottenham Hotspur - Everton
