After knocking Chelsea out of the League Cup at Stamford Bridge, Ade Akinbiyi's Burnley of the Championship have been handed a home draw against Arsenal while Cup holders Tottenham Hotspur will travel to another Championship side in Watford City.
The only all-Premier League tie of the quarterfinal sees Paul Ince visit his old club Manchester United with his Blackburn Rovers side while Seyi Olofinjana's Stoke City will face Derby County at home in the other quarterfinal draw.
Burnley had won 5-4 on penalties at Stamford Bridge after Nigerian midfielder John Mikel Obi missed his sudden death kick while an Arsenal side with an average age of 19 beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at the Emirates.
Manchester United had a Carlos Tevez penalty to thank for a 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers while its opponents in the last eight, Blackburn beat Sunderland 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.
The Carling Cup quarterfinal matches will hold in the week beginning December 1.
