Spurs-West Ham, Liverpool-Leicester headline League Cup draw

LONDON (AP) - After dispatching Manchester United and Manchester City in previous rounds, West Ham will have to get past another of English soccer's so-called 'œBig Six'ť to reach the semifinals of the League Cup.

West Ham was pitted against Tottenham in the draw for the quarterfinals that was made on Saturday.

With City - the winner of the competition in each of the last four seasons - out, the draw looks wide open.

Premier League leader Chelsea is away to Brentford in another London derby, Liverpool hosts Leicester while third-tier Sunderland - the only team remaining not from the top flight - will play away to Arsenal.

The matches will be played in the week starting Dec. 20.
