Manchester United will travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, after beating Leicester City 5-2 at Old Trafford.

It’s an all-Premier League last eight in the competition with the ties to be played in the week commencing 16 December.

The pre-Christmas clash at Spurs represents a tough proposition, after the north Londoners knocked Premier League champions Manchester City out with a 2-1 home triumph.

We have never beaten the capital club away in the competition, losing on all three occasions, but Sir Alex Ferguson’s team did emerge victorious in the 2009 final against them, at Wembley.

Ours was the first tie out of the hat before a London derby between Arsenal and Crystal Palace.

Newcastle United, who beat Chelsea, face Brentford at St James’ Park, while Liverpool have been drawn away to Southampton.
