Manchester United drawn at home against Norwich in Capital One Cup


• Birmingham host Stoke after eliminating holders Swansea

• Arsenal v Chelsea, Newcastle v Manchester City


Manchester United's reward for overcoming rivals Liverpool is a home tie with Norwich City in the Capital One Cup fourth round.


Javier Hernández's strike early in the second half secured a 1-0 win at Old Trafford, which will play host to the Canaries the week starting 28 October.


Arsenal's reward for their fringe side's triumph on penalties at West Bromwich Albion was a home tie against fellow London club Chelsea.


Birmingham ousted the holders Swansea 3-1 and have been handed another home match in the last 16, this time against Mark Hughes's Stoke.


Despite their heroics, the Blues are still considered rank outsiders to regain the title they won in 2011, with United among the favourites after drawing Norwich.


"Well, you always want a home draw if you can get it," the manager David Moyes told Sky Sports 1. "Norwich are a good side, they have got a good manager and we will give them every respect."


Newcastle will welcome Manchester City to St James' Park after overcoming Leeds, while Hull travel to Tottenham just days after heading to White Hart Lane in the Premier League.


Managerless Sunderland play host to Mauricio Pochettino's Southampton, while West Ham head north to take on the Championship side Burnley.


Martin Jol's Fulham travel to Leicester in search of a quarter-final berth.
