The two north London clubs last met in the League Cup in 2015 when Mathieu Flamini scored twice as the Gunners won 2-1 in the third round

Arsenal have been drawn against north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The Gunners, last season's beaten finalists, will host their neighbours at Emirates Stadium during the week starting 17 December.

League One Burton Albion, the lowest-ranked team left in the competition, go to Championship side Middlesbrough.

Chelsea host Bournemouth, while Leicester or Southampton will play holders Manchester City.

The Foxes' tie against the Saints at King Power Stadium has been rearranged for 27 November.

The match, originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday, was postponed following the death of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash.

Arsenal and Spurs will meet twice at the Emirates in little over a fortnight as the teams also play in the Premier League on 2 December.

Full draw:

Arsenal v Tottenham

Leicester/Southampton v Manchester City

Middlesbrough v Burton

Chelsea v Bournemouth

    Ever since Carabao become sponsors this competition has had some very suspicious draws.

    @39 I've always referred to it as the League Cup. Sponsors can plaster their name all over the tournament as much as they like but that doesn't buy ownership of the competition and certainly not its identity. The current sponsor want the final to be played overseas as part of their involvement, its "the 39th fixture" by stealth. I've no doubt they'll get their way.

    47 Shedman - might be an idea to actually know about the history of your club.

    The Arsenal started life as a football club with the name 'Woolwich Arsenal', comical when referring to the 'North London' derby.
    Even so, we love it and love the matches (if only we won more of them).
    The club had it's first meeting in the Royal Oak pub, Plumstead - now that would make them a pub team, which would square nicely with the fact that we (Spurs) need to find a pitch each week!

    The construction of Emirates Stadium was also part of a larger project including mixed residential and commercial development, not to mention the groundwork needed to prepare the site.

    And on the subject of stadium size, when you’re talking about the odd 1,000 or two on a 60,000+ capacity, does it really matter that much?

    what do you expect the club should do when the professionals say the stadium cannot be ready technically. Levy is doing a fantastic job . Put you in his position when you order something and the suppliers say it cannot be ready . Are you a child ?

    I'm 43 and I've always said League Cup despite the obvious 1986 Milk Cup! So sad that these things have to be sponsored by name.

    Call it by it's proper name. Its the League Cup. The company that makes the toxic 'drink' who sponsor the competition haven't paid the BBC or any fan to mention them by name. They can use their money to manipulate the competition as much as they like but they haven't bought the media or the fans loyalty and respect and never will.

    It is a great game for Spurs supporters against a great rival who are recovering from a couple of years of turmoil and uncertainty and starting to improve. Spurs have been under pressure due to a large number of players being full internationals in the World cup, playing a lot of away games but performing remarkably well and with resilience. It is good to measure ourselves under tough conditions.

    @24 Could well have been if spurs had been drawn at home. I mean the game being played in an actual park, like a Sunday league side.

    #147 You talk rubbish, copied from McAlpines website

    The builder would say that advertising themselves on their own website, can't believe you're so gullible. Let's see what Arsenal themselves admitted publicly, where you were God only knows.
