Pep Guardiola’s side progressed thanks to a 2-1 win over Watford on Tuesday night with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes getting the goals to send them through.
Meanwhile Spurs secured their spot in the fourth round with a 2-1 win over Coventry last week – a result which keeps their hopes for a trophy alive.
Manchester United have been drawn against Leicester City at home following the 7-0 hammering of Barnsley and the Foxes’ dramatic penalty shootout win over Walsall.
It was that clash with the League Two side that saw a fan try to confront Steve Cooper before being tackled by a Walsall player.
The winners of AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle will face Chelsea in the next round, with the rearranged third round tie set to take place at St James’ Park following the flooded pitch at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
AFC Wimbledon’s vice president Ivor Heller has told talkSPORT the club could spend around £1million on repairing their pitch.
A fan-led JustGiving page has been set up to raise funds to fix the pitch and has already raised £111,000 at the time of writing.
Arsenal, who beat Bolton 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium, will travel to face Preston in the fourth round while Brighton host Liverpool at the AMEX Stadium.
Arne Slot’s side progressed thanks to a 5-1 victory over West Ham at Anfield with Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo grabbing two goals each.
Of course Liverpool will be hoping to retain their title after beating Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley in the 2024 final.
Ties will take place the week commencing October 28Getty
Doing so would be the perfect way for Slot to get his Liverpool reign up and running.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa host Crystal Palace, Southampton welcome Stoke City and Brentford take on Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday.
talkSPORT co-hosts Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Harahad their say on the Carabao Cup draw, with some fantastic fixtures to look forward to.
Speaking on The Sports Bar, ex-Chelsea defender Cundy said: “There’s a couple of tasty ones, Brighton vs Liverpool is a tasty one.
“And obviously your boys [Tottenham] against Man City, that catches the eye.
“Villa vs Palace… you expect Arsenal to go through.”
Left dejected by Tottenham’s opponents, former Spurs midfielder O’Hara stated: “Is there any danger of us just getting an easy route to a final? Come on.”
To which Cundy quipped: “You’re never going to win anyway even if you’ve got an easy route, you’ll still lose in the final.”
He continued: “You expect Newcastle to beat Wimbledon and that’ll be a tough game for Chelsea, it’ll be a tough game for both to be honest.
