Now Burnley will host Arsenal


Burnley's reward for their Carling Cup upset of Chelsea is a home tie against Arsenal in the last eight. The Championship side beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties at Stamford Bridge after a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, and will host Arsene Wenger's impressive youngsters at Turf Moor. Arsenal swept into the quarter-finals with a 3-0 demolition of Wigan despite fielding a team composed almost entirely of teenagers.

Paul Ince will take his Blackburn team to his old stomping ground of Old Trafford to face Manchester United, while holders Tottenham have been drawn away at Watford. Stoke City and Derby County will meet in an all-midlands clash in the other quarter-final. Meanwhile, Manchester City forward Nery Castillo has revealed his desire to move to Spain next season. The Mexico international is at Eastlands until December on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk, but hopes to leave the Ukrainian side at the end of the season.

"The main thing on my mind is to play for another team, in an important league," he said. Castillo has been granted permission from Shakhtar to look for another club * With Agencies
