Southend United could get the chance to avenge their Carling Cup defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

For should Steve Tilson's side win their FA Cup replay at Barnsley next weekend they would travel to Spurs or Cardiff City in the fourth round over the weekend of January 27.

But the Blues boss remains fully focused on next Tuesday's clash with the Tykes.

"If I'm honest I didn't even watch the draw," said Tilson.

"It's irrelevant who we've got because we're not even in the fourth round at the moment. We need to beat Barnsley if we're going to get there and that's what we're thinking of but of course it would be nice to go back to Tottenham again."

Spurs drew 0-0 with Cardiff, who Southend face this Saturday, an Ninian Park at the weekend.

The two sides will do battle again at White Hart Lane 24 hours after the Shrimpers trip to Oakwell.

Full draw: Arsenal v Bolton, West Ham v Watford, Bristol City or Coventry City v Hull City or Middlesbrough, Chelsea v Nottingham Forest, Chester City or Ipswich Town v Swansea, Cardiff City or Tottenham Hotspur v Southend United or Barnsley, Barnet or Colchester United v Peterborough United or Plymouth Argyle, Birmingham City or Newcastle United v Reading or Burnley, Derby County v Bristol Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday or Manchester City v Southampton, Crystal Palace v Preston North End, Manchester United v Portsmouth, Blackpool v Norwich City, Queens Park Rangers or Luton Town v Blackburn Rovers, Wolverhampton Wanderers or Oldham v West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City or Fulham v Stoke City
