Carling Cup: Reds to face Barnsley


United will face Barnsley at Oakwell in the Carling Cup fourth round next month.

The Reds continue their defence of the trophy after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in the third round.

A second-half Danny Welbeck goal proved enough to send United into the last 16 of the competition, despite playing much of the match with 10 men.

Barnsley, managed by former Reds striker Mark Robins, progressed after beating Burnley 3-2 last Tuesday. United have never met the Yorkshire side in the League Cup, although The Tykes did beat Sir Alex's side in an FA Cup fifth round replay at Oakwell in 1998.

Elsewhere, Arsenal will play Liverpool, Chelsea host Bolton and Manchester City meet Scunthorpe.


Fourth round

Blackburn Rovers v Peterborough
Manchester City v Scunthorpe
Tottenham Hotspur v Everton
Barnsley v United
Chelsea v Bolton
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Arsenal v Liverpool
Portsmouth v Stoke City

Matches to be played week commencing 26 October.
