Big Guns Kept Apart In Cup Draw

[Folami David]

Premier League powerhouses Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur managed to avoid each other in the draw for the League Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.
.
United were handed a trip to Stoke City, who they beat 3-2 in the league last Saturday, while City must visit second-tier Leicester City, conquerors of top- flight Fulham in round four.
.
Tottenham's reward for a nail-biting 8-7 penalty shootout success against Hull City earlier on Wednesday was a home game with London rivals West Ham United.
.
Chelsea must wait until next week to learn the identity of their opponents, however, having been drawn to face the winners of the one remaining fourth-round tie between Sunderland and Southampton.
.
Draw for the quarterfinals:
Leicester City v Manchester City
Stoke City v Manchester United
Sunderland or Southampton v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United
