Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham were paired against Arsene Wenger's Gunners in Tuesday's draw. Tottenham, who were beaten in last year's final by Chelsea, will host the tie of the round at London's White Hart Lane in September.
It will be the first north London derby of the season. There will be more derby intrigue when Villa clash with Championship side Birmingham for the first time since January 2011.
Birmingham are unbeaten in the last three meetings with Villa, including a League Cup tie in 2010.
Holders Chelsea travel to third tier Walsall, while Liverpool host fourth tier Carlisle.
Manchester United face Championship side Ipswich at Old Trafford and Manchester City travel to Sunderland.
