The 2021-22 Carabao Cup semi-final draw sees Chelsea play London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal facing Liverpool.
The games were determined immediately following the conclusion of the quarter-final, where Chelsea defeated Brentford, Tottenham defeated West Ham, Arsenal defeated Sunderland and Liverpool defeated Leicester City.
Both semi-finals will be played over two legs, with the first leg the week of January 3 and the second leg the following week.
Chelsea will face a Spurs team they blew away 3-0 in September, while Arsenal must try to at least reverse the 4-0 humiliation at Anfield last month.
Chelsea eased past Brentford 2-0 through an own goal and a late Jorginho penalty to book their spot in the last four.
Tottenham topped West Ham 2-1 as goals by Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura were enough to overcome a strike from Jarrod Bowen.
Arsenal saw off Sunderland by a 5-1 score with Eddie Nketiah netting a hat-trick at the Emirates Stadium.
And Liverpool stormed back from a 3-1 deficit against Leicester City to win in a shoot-out.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel said: “It was clear it was going to be a tough draw, four strong teams.
“I think the Tottenham draw is nice for our fans, a London derby, very difficult but we are looking forward to it.”
