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.

11 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

A couple of half chances for Spurs as Christian Eriksen shoots wide and Dele Alli heads over from a Kieran Trippier cross.

12 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

How has he missed?! Ramsey and Mkhitaryan play a lovely one-two and the Armenian is in on goal. He looks certain to put Arsenal 1-0 up but Gazzaniga denies him with a good save. Moans and groans from the home fans.

14 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

It's been a difficult start to the night at Stamford Bridge for Bournemouth, but they've just about weathered the storm so far. Jordon Ibe doesn't look entirely comfortable as a wing-back.

15 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

Mauricio Pochettino's side are attempting to play themselves into the match at the Emirates. They've had 65% possession so far. Will that Mkhitaryan miss come back to haunt Arsenal?

16 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

A good spell of possession for Spurs ends in Eriksen blasting over from around 30 yards out.

16 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

Chance for Bournemouth and it's that man Callum Wilson. Lys Mousset carries the ball forward and lays it into Callum Wilson. The England forward hits it first time but the ball flashes wide. Better from the Cherries.

20 minutes: Arsenal 0-0 Spurs

Spurs are definitely on top at the moment. Rose takes a short corner to Christian Eriksen, who whips the ball towards Petr Cech's near post. It's an easy save for the Arsenal goalkeeper.

SPURS LEAD AT THE EMIRATES!

20 minutes: Arsenal 0-1 Spurs

Son puts the away side 1-0 up. Gazzaniga plays a long ball forward. The ball drops to Dele Alli, who plays an excellent ball into the path of Son, who races forward and slots past Cech.

The Arsenal fans are appealing for offside, but replays show that Son timed his run brilliantly.

22 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

Chelsea have had nearly 80% possession and are pushing for an opener. This time it's Giroud who has an effort well saved by Boruc.
