Sky Sports HD2 & 2 brings you live action of Tottenham Hotspur's clash with Arsenal on an evening of 10 Carling Cup third round fixtures. Tottenham lock horns with their North London rivals Arsenal at White Hart Lane, with the pair having met in this competition back in 2008 when the former ultimately lifted the trophy. League One side Brentford have been handed a mouth-watering tie as they host Premier League club Everton, who have struggled for form this campaign, at Griffin Park. MK Dons, also of England's third tier, are in action against Birmingham City, who have not lost at St Andrews since September 2009. Lancashire rivals Burnley and Bolton Wanderers compete at Turf Moor for a place in the fourth round with the former currently adjusting to life back in the Championship following their relegation. Portsmouth's only wins this season have come in the Carling Cup and the South Coast club are in action versus fellow Championship strugglers Leicester City. Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome League One outfit Notts County to Molineux. The Magpies have already slayed Watford in the Carling Cup this season, so Wolves will be wary of an upset. Sunderland meet West Ham United in an all-Premier League affair as Avram Grant returns to the Hammers helm after missing their weekend trip to Stoke because of the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. Stoke City face Fulham, who have drawn four of their matches already this season but were emphatic in the second round of the Carling Cup, hitting Port Vale for six. Peterborough United, who beat Cardiff in the last round, will be aiming to continue their encouraging start to the season when they tackle Swansea City at London Road. Lastly, Championship pair Millwall and Ipswich Town do battle at The Den with the Lions seeking to bounce back from a torrid 6-1 loss in the league versus Watford at the weekend.
