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.

23 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

That's a good effort from David Brooks. The Welshman turns away from Cesc Fabregas brilliantly but his shot is straight at Kepa.

25 minutes: Arsenal 0-1 Spurs

Mauricio Pochettino will definitely be the happier of the two managers at this point. The home fans are becoming increasingly frustrated.

It was a brilliant ball from Alli to play in Son and a typically impressive finish from the South Korean.

26 minutes: Arsenal 0-1 Spurs

It's been a quiet night for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang so far, but he's gone fairly close to getting Arsenal level here. The forward makes some space in the box for a shot but his left-footed effort flashes wide.

27 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

The Blues continue to dominate proceedings at Stamford Bridge. Matteo Kovacic and Olivier Giroud are looking particularly lively.

28 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

David Brooks has been impressive for Bournemouth tonight.

The Welshman drives his side forward from inside their own half. He plays a one-two with Wilson before unleashing a shot that strikes his own man and sails wide. That was a chance.

30 minutes: Arsenal 0-1 Spurs

A big chance for Spurs to make it two. The away side break from an Arsenal corner as the referee waves away appeals for a penalty.

Sissoko and Eriksen combine, before the Frenchman blazes over a golden opportunity. Composure needed.

Jack Sear19 December 2018 20:17

31 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

That's the best chance of the game so far. Loftus-Cheek splits open the Bournemouth defence with an excellent pass through to Willian, who's in on goal.

A heavy touch does him no favours, before Boruc reads his chipped effort and makes another good save.

Jack Sear19 December 2018 20:18

33 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

More flashes of brilliance from David Brooks. Ake slides a good ball through to him inside the box, before the Welshman goes down after a challenge from Christensen.

Nothing is given and there are no real appeals from the Bournemouth players.

Jack Sear19 December 2018 20:21

36 minutes: Arsenal 0-1 Spurs

Arsenal aren't really threatening the Spurs goal too much here. Don't be surprised if there are changes from Unai Emery at half-time if things stay this way.

Jack Sear19 December 2018 20:21

36 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

More good play from Bournemouth, who are really getting into this now. Ibe drives his side forward with an excellent run, before Mousset's shot is turned round the post by Kepa.

Maurizio Sarri won't be a happy man if Chelsea go behind here.
