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.

A new role for Nathan Ake

It looks as if Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake may be lining up in midfield for the Cherries tonight.

Chelsea are, of course, the team he left for Bournemouth last year, so it promises to be an interesting night for the Dutchman.

It's nearly kick-off time

The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is fast approaching at the Emirates and at Stamford Bridge.

2 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

A big early chance for Arsenal. Mkhitaryan wins a corner and then flicks on the ball in at the near post. Monreal stretches but can't quite get on the end of it.

2 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

Chelsea are in control in the early stages after capitalising on a mistake from Jordon Ibe. More of that and it could be a long night for the Cherries.

4 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

Arsenal are definitely set up in a back four this evening, with Granit Xhaka partnering Sokratis at the heart of the defence.

5 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

At Stamford Bridge, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on the right-side of Chelsea's front three tonight, with Willian out on the left.

Most of the early stages are being played in Bournemouth's half.

7 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

Spurs right-back Kieran Trippier looks to have recovered from an early knock and has just pulled off a brilliant nutmeg on Alex Iwobi right in front of the away supporters. They enjoyed that.

8 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

Chance for Chelsea, who are dominant here. Loftus-Cheek plays in Barkley after some excellent work down the right. Barkley hits it from 20 yards out and Bournemouth keeper Boruc pulls off a great stop to deny him.

8 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

Just wide from Ramsey. The Welshman combines well with Alex Iwobi before smashing just wide of the far post.
