Arteta helped Man City win the Carabao Cup TWICE while Guardiola’s assistant, in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
But now he will lead his new side, Arsenal, against his former team in a bid to add to his silverware haul.
Arteta has already won the FA Cup and Community Shield since taking over from Unai Emery at the Emirates a year ago.
Elsewhere, red-hot Everton host Manchester United – who had earlier been drawn into the Champions League Group of Death.
Man Utd battered Brighton 3-0 to book their place in the last-eight, while the Toffees annihilated West Ham to keep up their scintillating form.
Tottenham will take a trip to Stoke – who beat Aston Villa away from home earlier on Thursday.
Spurs themselves edged past Chelsea on penalties in an exciting game – which included a row between Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard, as well as Eric Dier darting off the pitch mid-game to use the toilet.
And Brentford – who battered Fulham 3-0 in a repeat of the 2020 Championship play-off final – host Newcastle.
