Manchester City will host Sheffield Wednesday in the third round of the Capital One Cup.

The cup holders begin the defence of their trophy with a home tie against a side they haven't met since January 2007. Goals from Stephen Ireland and Darius Vassell secured a 2-1 win for the blues in an FA Cup replay after the reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw.

Sheffield Wednesday reached the third round of the competition after disposing of Notts County in a 3-0 win, and Premier League opposition Burnley in a 1-0 victory on Tuesday night. 

The tie will be played on Monday 22nd September.
