Tottenham will face London rivals Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, while holders Manchester City have been drawn against League One Burton.
Spurs overcame Arsenal in the north London derby on Wednesday, while five-time winners Chelsea defeated Bournemouth.
Pep Guardiola's City saw off Leicester in a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday, with Burton into the last four of the competition for the first time after winning at Middlesbrough.
Television presenter Piers Morgan, an Arsenal supporter, performed the semi-final draw alongside Peter Crouch wearing a Spurs shirt.
The forfeit came after Morgan lost a £1,000 charity bet to former Tottenham striker Crouch on the outcome of Wednesday's match at the Emirates.
The semi-final draw for the Carabao Cup:
Tottenham v Chelsea
Manchester City v Burton
The first legs will be played in the week commencing January 7 and the second legs in week beginning January 21.

90+2 minutes: Chelsea 1-0 Bournemouth
Chelsea counter and it's another top save from Boruc to deny Chelsea's second. Hazard breaks and pulls the ball back to Giroud, who looks certain to score, only for Boruc to flick his effort over. Great goalkeeping.

Stay with us...
We'll have coverage of the semi-final draw coming up at around 10pm.
Spurs and Chelsea progress
It wasn't easy, especially for Chelsea, but it's them and Spurs that are through to the semi-finals.
A first half strike from Son had Mauricio Pochettino's side 1-0 up at half-time and Dele Alli, who was man of the match, doubled their lead brilliantly with around 30 minutes to play.
Arsenal were lacklustre all night and Spurs deserved to progress. This was only Spurs' second ever victory at the Emirates.
An 84th minute Eden Hazard goal was enough to see Chelsea through to the next round.
The Blues started the match very well but seemed to drop off in intensity as the game went on. David Brooks impressed for Bournemouth, who had a number of chances to take the lead.
Hazard came on early in the second half and scored the only goal of the game after combining well with Pedro inside the Bournemouth box.
