When the Capital One Cup
Draws was conducted yesterday (Sept 25th) no logic was needed to spot the
standout fixture which was the London Derby with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea making
a short trip across to North London from West London to face Arsenal who survived
a nervy penalty shootout against West Bromwich Albion at their ground The
Emirates Stadium. Another Fixture that caught the eye is the duel between hosts
Newcastle and Manchester City while Neighbours Manchester United host fellow
Premier League side Norwich City. Birmimgham City's reward for knocking out
Holders Swansea City is to welcome Mark Hughes's Stoke City while Big Spenders
Tottenham welcome Newly promoted Hull City managed by former Birmimgham boss
Steve Bruce. The last Premier League duel sees Sunderland welcome Southampton
while the remaining two fixtures are Leicester City welcoming Fulham while West
Ham United would be guests of Chamipionship Side Burnley.
