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.

Maurizio Sarri isn't at all happy on the touchline at Stamford Bridge. His side look like they're in need of some inspiration.

71 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

Half a chance for Bournemouth as Ryan Fraser shoots over from just outside the box. Is there a winner in this? Remember we go straight to penalties if it's level after 90 minutes.

Arsenal are attempting to turn the screw here but Spurs are standing firm.

73 minutes: Arsenal 0-2 Spurs

Some unsavoury scenes at the Emirates as Dele Alli appears to have been hit by an object thrown by an Arsenal fan.

Sokratis moves him away from the situation before Alli turns around to remind the Arsenal supporter of the score. If the home fans weren't wound up, they are now.

77 minutes: Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

More great play from Bournemouth, who will feel they deserve to be level at the very least here.

Wilson slides in Fraser who looks to play the ball back to the England forward inside the box before Rudiger clears.

76 minutes: Arsenal 0-2 Spurs

Scenes reminiscent of Jordan Pickford's blunder at Anfield. Aubameyang's attempted cross from the left bounces onto the bar and into play, but Spurs are able to clear.

Granit Xhaka is booked after giving the linesman a mouthful.
