SHEFFIELD UNITED face a daunting trip to Arsenal in the third round of the Carling Cup.
The pay-back for a win at Huddersfield last week is a trip to Arsene Wenger's flair team.
Arsenal's home ground is considered a fortress. They have only lost one competitive game at the Emirates Stadium – so Kevin Blackwell's team will be trying for an upset.
Arsenal knocked United out of the same competition last season, running out 3-0 winners at Bramall Lane with goals from Eduardo (2) and Denilson.
League Two side Rotherham are at home to Southampton, in another interesting tie.
Brighton or Man City v Derby
Burnley v Fulham
Portsmouth v Chelsea
Blackburn v Everton
Rotherham v Southampton
Swansea v Cardiff
Ipswich v Wigan
Stoke v Reading
Leeds v Hartlepool
Watford v West Ham
Man Utd v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v Crewe
Aston Villa v QPR
Sunderland v Northampton
Newcastle v Tottenham
Ties to be played the week commencing 22 September
